The unrivaled master of the macabre, none other than Edgar Allan Poe himself, is conjured back from the shadows for a most extraordinary hour of enigma and dread. On this remarkable late afternoon, let the mists of time part as the venerable actor, Mr. Campbell Harmon, weaves a tapestry in which Poe's very essence is entwined with his eerie tales and haunting history.

"Led by suffragist and public librarian Maud Malone, [the Library Employee's Union (LEU) of the New York Public Library] was the first of five American Federation of Labor affiliates to emerge at large east coast libraries. Though they disbanded by the end of the 1920s, the LEU instigated spirited debates about unionization across the field of American librarianship."

Just got this email from the NYPL, looked like they're trying to get signatures to prevent budget cuts!

Albrecht Dürer Meets. . .
MAD Magazine!?

I've never seen a Dürer Fortifications manual where the building edges line up so perfectly!
Or one where the tower gets resized quite so hilariously.
Coincidence?
