In 1900 when Miss Mary Eliza Scranton offered the Madison Library Association the use of a new, completely furnished, library building which she had built on the corner of Wall Street adjoining her family’s old home. The offer was accepted, books moved in, and in 1901 the Association dissolved and the E.C. Scranton Memorial Library was incorporated.
The original library building was designed by Henry Bacon, an eminent New York architect who later designed the Lincoln Memorial. A New York firm of “contracting designers” was in charge of the architecture, construction, decorations and furnishings, the total cost of which was about $30,000.
The library was added to in 1989 and again in 2020 (along Wall St.)

"Completed in 1995, the 1560sqm Eltham Library is located in a community that prides itself on its artistic heritage and commitment to environmental issues. Pioneering artist and architect Justus Jorgensen established an artistic and cultural precinct Montsalvat in Eltham in the 1930s. In the 1940s Alastair Knox won historic approval to build in earth construction. Mud brick beame a defining feature of this area. The design reflects this heritage and incorporates many other challenges including existing trees, an historic building, overlooking from the main road and proximity to the railway line. Sustainable natural materials were used including earth, radially sawn and recycled timbers and copper panelling and flashing. The library is much enjoyed by its users and is a focal point for community activities."

A visit to Knole Park gave me the ideal excuse to find the old library in Sevenoaks. The building was funded by Andrew Carnegie on land donated by Henry Swaffield, and opened in 1905.
A lovely building, it now has been turned into offices.
And this evening I created a new page on my website which traces the Carnegie legacy in England and Wales: carnegielegacyinengland.wordpress.com/2021/11/21/sevenoak...

On September 6, 1996, the southeast quadrant of Butler Library's third floor was dedicated to Buffalo State's international students. This comfortable reading space owes its creation to the Office of International Student Affairs, the International Student Advisory Council, and the International Student Organization. The area is enhanced by a display of artifacts from several countries and by flags, purchased by the United Students Government, representing some of the home nations of current and former Buffalo State students. The flags were dedicated February 25, 2000 by the Office of International Student Affairs and E. H. Butler Library.
The National Trust website says, "Beautiful 566-hectare (1,400-acre) estate located in an exceptional setting and enjoying stunning views across the Surrey Hills. The house was remodelled in 1906–9 by the Hon. Mrs Ronald Greville, a well-known Edwardian hostess, and was the venue for the honeymoon of the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth."

Public library funded by Andrew Carnegie in Kingston upon Thames. Opened 1902, next door to a museum built in similar style
The Queens Library in Flushing is a beautiful building. I was surprised to find that this isn't the main library. Still, it's a large one and well used.
It was a gray day, so even my new Zeiss lens couldn't make this look bright and cheerful, but it is sharp.
A lovely room overall in Dunster Castle the wallpaper was especially intriguing in that it was embossed.
