McGill Library, built in the Collegiate Gothic style, opened on campus in 1938. It is named after Ralph Gibson McGill (1902). McGill was a missionary to Egypt. He drowned in the Mediterranean while trying to rescue children.
McGill Library was rededicated in 2008 after a $6.2 million renovation project. That project included: installation of compact shelving for books and periodicals on the ground floor; relocation of the main entrance and construction of a handicapped-accessible lift; creation of the Williamson and the Drinko Rooms; repair and renovation of the Ferguson Room, including refinishing of vintage 1930s solid oak chairs and library tables; and relocation and renovation of the computer lab.

The Casey Library began a new chapter May 3 as the community got its first look at the re-located facility.
Raymond Myers, U.S. Army Garrison Casey's deputy to the garrison commander spoke to community members about the move and the enhanced library.
"Moving here brings the library closer to the school and creates more of a downtown feel," said Myers.
In addition to being closer to Casey Elementary, the library is across the street from Child, Youth & School Services and across an adjacent street from Starbucks. Part of that downtown feel Myers mentioned.
According to Tracey Klippert, supervisory librarian for the Casey enclave libraries, they are enjoying the openness and the new furnishings.
"It's very easy to manage, you can see down all of the stacks, see into the children's area," said Klippert. "Other than DVDs, children's books are the most checked out item, we get a lot of parents in here with their children
every day and it is the most popular feature of the library."
And, Klippert means everyday... the library is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week and has added some very sharp e-readers with e-magazines coming soon to their free Wi-Fi area.

As traditional libraries close, they are being replaced with old telephone boxes where people can leave and borrow books. As an ex-librarian, I find this trend rather depressing.
Showing just how central the library is- close to the museum, Walker Art Gallery, station and docks.

The Jefferson Market Library was open to the public last 10.12.13 during Open House New York. Waiting time to go up was about an hour and you have to climb 149 steps up the spiral staircase, but it was so worth it. Great views of Manhattan from up the tower!

On April 22, 1983 Stephen King came and spoke at the Billerica Public Library (Director Barbara Flaherty stands to the left). Fee? A place to bunk and a six-pack. The text of the speech can be read in his nonfiction book "Secret Windows".
Brooklyn Public Library's Central Library, completed in 1941 at Flatbush Avenue and Eastern Parkway contains more than million cataloged books, magazines, and multimedia materials.
This library was opened in 1902, then extended and re-opened in 2010. There is lovely detail in the stained glass and stone carving.
Inside, the computer/study room was absolutely packed, and there was lots of activity in the children's library

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, Ventura County, California
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is the repository of presidential records from the administration of Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States, and the burial place of the President and First Lady, Nancy Reagan. It is the largest of the 13 federally operated presidential libraries, containing millions of documents, photographs, films and tapes. There is a permanent exhibit covering the President’s life, as well as memorabilia such as Air Force One, the aircraft personally used by the president, and a section of masonry from the Berlin Wall.
In 1848 Warrington had the proud distinction of becoming the first town in the United Kingdom to open a rate-supported public library. It was born from a long-established private subscription library that had been operating in Warrington since 1760 from the Horsemarket Street premises of the printer William Eyres.
By the mid-1880s, Warrington’s municipal library – by now housed in [these] purpose-built premises in Museum Street, the foundation stone of which was laid by William Beamont in front of a massive crowd – boasted over 20,000 books and was thought to be the largest of any town in England based on the number of books per head of population.

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."
