Includes the names and quotations of the great writers, philosophers and artists of Western civilization such as Dante, Bacon and Emerson, and the thoughts of some of the nation's forefathers Jefferson, Adams and Madison. The inscriptions in each building express the Library's ambitious mission to collect and share the wisdom of all civilizations in today's world.
The buildings are not only feats of architecture holding the wealth of the nation's knowledge in their stacks, but they also harbor a wealth of inscriptions and quotations on their walls and ceilings. Updated in 2018. Written by John Y. Cole. Softcover, 128 pages.
