Abstract

Meeting place

Ages ago, the human soul, the human spirit became for the first time perceptible to man through his ability to remember the past – the things that had already disappeared and the companions who had already passed – and through his ability to put this remembering into words. No other creature known to us can do this.
But as time went by, man went even further, learning to gather the words of remembering into lines of writing, printed texts, books, and finally, even libraries.
The library is a place where the eyes of a person living today can, by gliding over the written lines, revive the threads of the long-gone times and see the lost worlds through the spiritual eye of the people already gone. By learning to remember the
past, a person living today meets, above all, his own soul and spirituality. The library is a place that exists for the purpose of making such meetings possible.
