Documenting our Landscape

Let me take you back in time for a brief moment; to a time when the Tiffany Ceiling in Preston Bradley Hall was an integral component of the Chicago Public Library. Libraries generally are repositories for the collected knowledge of cultures and civilizations, both of the stories told by a given civilization that, at their core, answer questions for which there are no answers and answers to previously unanswered questions. Fiction and non-fiction alike reflect on the general state of what is known and what is yet to be learned.
