This was the library of my childhood. In 2000, a new public library was built nearby, and it was converted to condominiums.
Square modern block, quite different from the ornate buildings that surround it. Very busy inside though - I had to frame these photos carefully!
The library has been renovated and recently reopened. There is a brand new information board that provides history of the high street over the years.

I started making read posters for the library last year as part of a marketing campaign. The project began with posters of faculty and staff posing with works they have published. We've been entertaining the idea of doing student versions for a while now. I finally got off my ass and finished up the first in the series. This is Mike, our ex student worker, member of Dormlife, and patient muse. Check out his band's site on myspace: www.myspace.com/dormlife.
Located in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts. This library was built in 1896. It still serves as a library today.

Her own little library. We are having the weirdest winter. Snow one day, 62 the next. The kids are happy to be outdoors either way.
The main public library in Pittsburgh. It was built in 1895, and was one of the first libraries built by Andrew Carnegie. Note lthe inscription over the columns. It is part of a museum complex in the Oakland district, near the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. This photo was taken in 1967. Recent photos show that the exterior of the buiding has been cleaned since then, and is much lighter in color.
Andrew Carnegie (1833-1919) was born in Scotland, and came to the United States with his family at the age of 13. He made a vast fortune in the steel industry, and gave most of it away in the last 30 years of his life. Public libraries may have been his best known philanthropy. He built over 2,500 libraries, 1,700 in the U.S. and most of the rest in Britain, Ireland, and Canada. A city that applied for a Carnegie Library had to meet certain requirements, including providing a site, providing a given sum each year for books and maintenance, free access, and open stacks.
