An ornate border surrounds the seal with the text "Public Library of the City of Boston" arched over the top. Within the medallion, several Latin mottoes are inscribed: "As God was to our fathers, so may He be to us" original: "SICUT PATRIBUS SIT DEUS NOBIS" at the top, "Boston founded A.D. 1630" original: "BOSTONIA CONDITA AD 1630" in the center, and "Incorporated as a city A.D. 1822" original: "CIVITATIS REGIMINE DONATA A.D. 1822" at the bottom.
