Image description: This black pen and ink drawing shows an Eagle perched on the top of a building with lions at each of its cloth feet. Underneath the eagle says the word library and you can see the building going down a long hall. There are open books in the corner. There is a quote in the bottom center that says “you can chain me you can torture me. You can destroy this body, but you will never imprison in my mind” Mahatma Gandhi.
