The Sycamore Public Library in the Sycamore Historic District (1905). It received a $10,000 grant form Andrew Carnegie for its construction. It bears a striking resemblance to the Paxton Carnegie Public Library in Paxton, IL.

Dad and John plopped down with local newspapers almost as soon as we walked in the door. John said he read an article about maple syrup that was very informative.
You can also see some of the art and antiques featured in the library. Flooring is new since it was damaged in the flood of 2016.
Title: Campusbibliotheek Arenberg
Other title: Campus Library Arenberg; Celestine Priory
Creator: Keldermans, Rombout, d. 1531; Moneo, Jose Rafael
Creator role: Architect
Date: 1521-1526 (Monastery built) 2002 (Restoration complete)
Current location: Heverlee, Vlaams-Brabant, Flanders, Belgium
Description of work: In January of 1997 the Katholieke Universiteit (Catholic University) located in Leuven (Flemish)/Louvain (French) held a competition for the renovation of the vacant Celestine priory, in nearby Heverlee, and its conversion into a library for four departments: Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences, Sciences, Engineering and Bio-engineering. Since its closure in 1783 the monastery had been utilized in a variety of ways. In the 19th and early 20th centuries the building was a stable for the nearby Castle Arenberg and from 1925 to 1984 it was a test station for plant breeding. Spanish architect Rafael Moneo embraced Rombout Keldermans II's original monastery architecture by incorporating new construction that enhanced (and found new use for) the old (Langouche, Guido ed. The Celestine Priory at Leuven: From Monastery to Library. Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2005). The addition connects opposite sides of the former monastery's courtyard which creates new outdoor spaces. The concave exterior walls on the top floor are mirrored by convex walls on the addition's opposite side (which faces the cloister garth) and by interior convex detailing that houses some of the entry hall's lighting.

University Library, Cambridge, 17 May 2015
The current University Library building was constructed between 1931 and 1934 under architect Giles Gilbert Scott, who also designed the neighbouring Clare Memorial Court (part of Clare College). It bears a marked resemblance to Scott's industrial architecture, a famous example of which is Bankside Power Station (the home of the Tate Modern).

Title : Turku Main Library
Other title : Turun Kaupunginkirjaston Paakirjasto
Creator : Wrede, Karl August (1859-1943); JKMM Architects; Jaaksi, Asmo; C & Co Architects
Creator role : Architect
Creator 2 : Meuronen, Paivi
Creator 2 role : Interior designer
Date : 1903 (old library building) 2007 (new library building) 2008 (old library building renovations)
Current location : Turku, Varsinais-Suomi, Finland
Description of work : The Turku Main Library is a complex consisting of the old governor's residency (rebuilt after 1827, now a cafe and meeting rooms) and the old (also known as the Bibliotheca) and new library buildings. All the buildings are linked by the glass-walled periodicals reading room and are arranged around an open courtyard within which is the cafe. A lack of interior dividing walls allows the interior design to be flexible and accommodate future changes in needs. The roof is supported by thin concrete columns that complements the openness achieved by the exuberant use of glass. This transparent quality is meant to connect patrons with the surrounding buildings and make the main room feel more like an open town square rather than an interior space. The new library building never rises above the old - the main objective was to harmonize the historical setting with the architecture of the present. The use of red brick was avoided in favor of maintaining the uniqueness of the old Bibliotheca, but the facades of the new building were plastered to connect it with other old buildings on the block. Natural stone was employed in the new facades, stairs, and courtyard, oak features prominently in the interior of the new building, and contemporary art is displayed in installations throughout the complex.
