during the restoration of our lions.
For more than 100 years, our iconic lions have faithfully stood guard outside of this library -- through every season and element, including wind, rain, snow, traffic exhaust, and other kinds of wear that take a toll on them over time. They've served as witnesses to more than a century of history, and they will live on for centuries more, as long as we do our duty to take care of them.
That's why, approximately every 10 years, our beloved lions must be refreshed and restored. Right now, they are undergoing a much-needed cleaning while several minor cracks and chips are being repaired.
