Meaning on Pa. library’s new engraved medallions lost in translation

“MOORESTOWN, Pa. — The Latin phrase engraved in decorative medallions on the new Moorestown Library was supposed to inspire.
The building’s planners thought its translation was: “We confirm all things twice.”
Apparently, they didn’t … confirm all things twice, that is.
The Latin words — “Nos Secundus Coniecto Omnia” — actually mean “we second-guess all,” which is what some critics have been doing lately.”
Note: I’m told that even though this article says PA that the library is in NJ. 😉

I believe this library is in New Jersey.
