While doing some poking around in the New York Herald Tribune archives, I ran across this photo from a 16 October 1922 article titled “Book Shortage at Libraries Hinders Youth: Pupils Unable to Obtain Prescribed Volumes for Home Reading, Report from the Tribune Discovers.”
After I get out of the subway stop at 28th Street and Seventh Avenue on the downtown 1 train, I walk east for 15 minutes to the library where I work. This is some very shaky video I shot on my mobile phone as I was halfway along that walk today. You may want to take some Dramamine before watching.
