• This science and business library is needed in NY now more than ever. Think of it as a career center with research librarians; it’s a very effective combination.
• I saw a ~500 year-old book, and it was a piece of art.• I wrote a 30+ report of my findings, and because my
manager, the gracious Erminio D'Onofrio, said to hold nothing back, it included a one-page disclaimer/apology.
