Ground was broken for this library 100 years ago, but it wasn't completed until 1940. (1940 - (2012 - 100)) = 28!
I love that the library website has an entire page devoted to the inscriptions on this building!

That is beautiful! Thanks for the link to the inscriptions, I wish there were close-up pics on the link.
It is a gorgeous building.
What fancy math, Matt. You could simply have said 1940-1912 = 28. ;-) :-)
Though nothing will ever replace a paper book for me, this did make me chuckle: “Accessible eBooks for the print-impaired”
It’s from this page:

nothing compares.
Who wouldn’t want to walk in..right?
