I feel about my local New York Public Library branches—Jefferson Market and Hudson Park in Greenwich Village—much the way I feel about my kids: I’m lucky to have two; they spring from the same source but have unique personalities, and I love them equally. After two years without these institutions, I’m ever more grateful for their (underfunded, yet gloriously democratic) aisles.

You don’t know if they know, or know and don’t care, or if they are just U2 and know, don’t care and deep down don’t believe it anyway.
