THIS IS A PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Transcribed by Wilma Bolton from The Hamilton Advertiser.
Storehouse of the culture of generations
The university of the working man;
The meeting place of the authors,
The poets and philosophers
Who have shaped the destiny of civilisation through the ages
A stronghold of the freedom of democracy
Where free-men may read what free-men write,
The temple of all the arts
Where the humblest and the mightiest may enter
Friend, you stand on sacred ground.
THIS IS A PUBLIC LIBRARY.
