[Gregg LeFevre Signature]
There was something about the vibrating empty rooms first thing in the morning — light falling through the great tall windows, the sun burning the smooth tops of the golden tables as if they had been freshly painted — that me restless with the need to grab up every book, press into every single mind right there on the open shelves.
The Library Walk, is a venture launched in 1996 by the New York Public Library, Grand Central Partnership and New Yorker Magazine, in which are embedded in bronze plaques quotes from well-known books, or those dealing with books and literature. The panels designed by artist Gregg LeFevre were laid in 1998 from the New York Public Library building along 41st Street.
The plaque features a quote from the autobiography of American author and literary critic Alfred Kazin in which he describes the years he spent in reading room number 305 at the New York Public Library, when he wrote his first book.
The plaque depicts the light falling from the tall windows, as Kazin describes.
