Haoui Montauk was a poet. He lived a long life in the last century. The New York native regarded the New York public library as the epitome of intellectualism. Haoui was right, but in the era of greed-driven ignorance certain special interests have sought to change the format of the library’s mission from knowledge to profit.
Tomorrow a seminar will be held at the Midtown Library to discuss the services offered by the Midtown Library.
The meeting will be from 6 to 8 pm in the Edna Barnes Salomon Room on the third floor of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. Enter at the Fifth Avenue entrance (at 41st Street, between the Lions). Refreshments will be served.
Knowledge is all, unless we want to end up like the Eloi of THE TIME MACHINE BY HG Wells.
All the books from the past ended up as dust and the Morlocks liked nothing better than roasted Eloi.
To those solely interested in profit, ignorance is an easier sell than knowledge.
