When I was a kid, I hung out at Brown pining for my sense of what might be going on inside those buildings. I don’t pine for other lives any longer, I am happy with mine. But the buildings of Brown had a big impact on me, and they still do. I was struck by the wondrous design of this classroom, which also has a dance studio inside of it.

I’m happy to be on the library tour. Libraries are the best of us, a foundation of our cultural soul.
