The Jefferson Market Branch, New York Public Library is located along the Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue) in Greenwich Village, on a triangular plot formed by Greenwich Avenue and West 10th Street. The original Third Judicial District "Jefferson Market" Courthouse was built between the years 1874-1877 from a design by architects Frederick Clark Withers and Calvert Vaux. A red brick structure built in a collection of styles inspired by the high pitched roofline of German castles and Venetian Gothic details, featuring stained glass windows and a four sided clock tower.
Beautiful library in my neighborhood.
Here's a great bio:
The fourth of the original Carnegie libraries in Nashville, East was praised as an "architectural gem" when it opened on May 8, 1919. Having survived floods and tornadoes, East was beautifully restored in 2000 to reverse modern renovations made in the 1960s. The building features a limestone exterior, a marble foyer, large chandeliers, oak tables and chairs and many other special features. East Branch is a Metro Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

My main reason for visiting this town in the central highlands. The library was absolutely packed on a Saturday morning - every reading space was occupied.
Inside there is a gallery around the whole space, accessed via a spiral staircase. Interestingly, all the books are kept behind glass, in locked cabinets

Description of work: Located between the Vistula River and the Warsaw Escarpment on a culturally and ecologically significant site, the library's design is based on a "city in the woods" concept and was the winning entry of the 1993 design competition for the building. The library is built within the existing topography of the landscape (two levels below grade and two levels above grade) and is constructed of reinforced concrete, steel, glass, and pre-patinated copper. The building's 5,000 square meter green roof is watered by a stormwater irrigation system and contains four thematic gardens, each of which is surrounded by massive skylights and connected by steel bridges. The roof gardens provide expansive views of the city and are integrated into the adjacent University Public Garden by grand staircases and linear water channels. "The library's interior is divided both functionally and physically by a glass enclosed street arcade, which serves to separate and connect the library stacks andleased commercial space.The copper facade along Dobra Street displays eight [4x7 meter] copper tablets containing six different alphabets, mathematical and chemical equations and musical and literary concepts."

The library, by the way, was very active. There was also the obligatory Napping Older Guy at a table.
the destruction of Barnsley Central Library is almost complete. Hard not to see it as act of anti-intellectual vandalism. There is meant to be a replacement but it is years off being built and relies in part on the vagaries of retail development to be built so I'm not holding my breath . It all looks like one step away from the noble traditions of public education and civic pride that libraries embodied.
