Today in history, the New York Public Library was dedicated after 14 years of construction. President Taft presided over the dedication of the $9 million marble building. It had a collection of over 1 million books before its doors opened to the general public on May 24.

The great thing about the NY Public Library is that it teaches you to read between the lions.
(okay, that should be funny to people who know what the NY Pub. Lib. looks like on the outside...)

Still doesn't make your horrible pun funny.
Okay, yes it does.
