Overview

The Library Walk is a collection of plaques adorning both sidewalks along Forty-First Street between Park Avenue and the New York Public Library. Assembled by the Grand Central Partnership (in collaboration with the New York Public Library and New Yorker magazine) and cast in bronze relief by Gregg LeFevre in 2004, these weird little packets of literacy were designed to rehabilitate a \"shadowy street\" and make it a glorious library entrance. Here, Yaeger highlights sixteen scholars who comment on the Library Walk, which tries to resurrect an older mode of reading in which people seize upon literature's slogans to discover \"the best that has been thought and known.\"
