A living legend of the American Documentary tradition continues his exploration of the great world institutions (shortly after National Gallery) to identify the reason that attracts millions of visitors behind its gates. His stay in the New York Public Library is an anthem to the need of the human spirit for knowledge and the vital importance of certain small cores of democracy in an immense, irrational world.
