I have wanted to add these pictures ever since I took them in March 2016
The story: Robert and I wanted to do something different in Chicago so found a Chicago Walks card that directed us to the Harold Washington Library in Chicago - the second largest public library in the United States. I guess the one in New York is larger. One draw was the top story atrium - a beautiful indoor garden, an absolute oasis of quiet in the busy city. To be honest you have to hunt for the entrance to the atrium. The final flight up the atrium is pretty much hidden from public view- you have to know it is there to find it.
Anyway on the way back, I stopped by one of the restrooms and what first struck me was the gorgeous tile work that you see here, But then I found this brass plaque and I absolutely could not resist. I hope that this has nothing to do with mothers helping small children, but whatever the story is behind this notice - I do not want to speculate.
