But yet this is not the first fire of this sort. People forget quickly and go back to their lives. It may impact a few scholars, some nearby residents, and a couple of college kids that would wander in by mistake. They are more likely to remember the road being narrowed when the library is rebuilt than they are to remember that priceless treasures were burned so as to never be seen again.

There is always plenty of money for new "pork" to win voters in the next election, never enough money for preservation of our heritage.
