On May 25, 1888, Muskegon lumber baron Charles H. Hackley announced that he would donate a library to the city. Hackley stipulated that the facility be "forever maintained as a library."
Muskegon citizens celebrated the laying of the Hackley Public Library cornerstone on May 25, 1889, the anniversary of Charles Hackley's donation of the library. The library was constructed of Maine granite and trimmed with Marquette sandstone. The reading room windows depict Shakespeare, Goethe, Longfellow and Prescott. On October 15, 1890, the completed library was dedicated. The lot, building and furnishings amounted to a $175,000 gift.
The library is a direct reflection of the city's history and a fitting monument to one of its most prominent citizens.

It's a measure of short architectural attention spans that The Rock comes up a lot when people feel the need to talk about 'ugly' architecture on the campus of Brown. I think it's decent, inside and outside.
In 1958 Catherine McKune willed the McKune House Hotel to the Chelsea Public Library. In 2006 a large addition was completed behind the old house. In 2008 the Library Journal named it "The Best Small Library in America"

Built in 1901 by George Goodman on land he donated, this Richardson Romanesque was the longest-running library in California, as his donation stipulated that the building would be used as a library or returned to his heirs. After the city library moved in the 1970s, it became a research library of the Napa County Historical Society. This photo was taken in October 2013.

Once a Jesuit monastery, the Collegium Berchmanianum in Oudenbosch now houses an astronomical observatory (Tivoli) and a restaurant. The observatory has been part of the monastery for a long time under the name Simon Stevin. After a few decades of housing at a different location, the observatory returned in 2015 as 'Tivoli'.
Surely one of the lovliest libraries you could wish for.
The Guest House is a 15th century oak timbered building, which was bequeathed to Surrey County Council in 1954 for public use and became home to the Lingfield Library Centre a year later. So named because it was originally used for visitors to the nearby (monastic) College of Lingfield, the Guest House was restored in 1898 and retains many of the original features. Particularly noteworthy is the Hall, which forms the centre of the building and opens to the roof.
The Guest House contains a collection of artistic and antiquarian objects including four tapestries, thought to be Flemish in origin, which hang in the Hall. It also houses the Hayward Memorial Local History Centre.
At the back of the building is a conservatory opening onto gardens, which are also open to the public.
