...objective was reconciliation over the graves of the past. We have never forgotten what the Marshall Plan did here. The Germans experienced the Americans as their friends. In 1946, as half-starved schoolchildren, we saw American trucks drive onto our school playground at 11 o'clock every morning with food.

As part of the main library's $45 million face-lifting, the catalog room is being computerized, its 8,973 drawers and 10 million cards replaced by a central memory bank and 50 low-slung terminals.
