On the sign:
Someone is reading in a deepening room
Where something happens, something that will come

To happen again, happening as many times
As she is reading in as many rooms.

What happens outside that calm like water braiding
Over green stone? The ones of little reading

Or who never read for love, are many places,
They are in the house of power, and many houses...

Robert Pinsky (1940- )’ “Library Scene”

[Gregg LeFevre Signature]

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.

Excerpts from a poem by the American poet, literary critic and translator Robert Pinski appear on the plaque.
