Built in 1912, the Cobb Memorial Library is historically significant in the area of community development as Truro's first town-owned public library, and for its association with the evolution of the library system in Truro. Cobb Memorial Library remained in use as a public library until 1999. It is now the town's historic archive. The building was given to the town by Elisha Wiley Cobb in memory of his parents Elisha W. and Mehitable Cobb. The donor was a Truro native who became a leather merchant in Boston, but also owned a house in Truro that had been in his family since it was built ca. 1727. The Cobb Memorial Library is architecturally significant as an excellent, rare, and well preserved example of the Craftsman style in Truro. The architect is unknown, but the library is the only nonresidential building in Truro designed in this style. The Cobb Memorial Library retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and it meets National Register criteria A and C with a local level of significance. The period of significance is 1912 to 1963, begining when the library was constructed and ending 50 years from the present, a time frame established by the National Park Service as adequate for objective historical perspective.

Just popped in for a nose, as I'd never been inside before. The library has had a lengthy revamp, I gather. Last time I was in the vicinity, at least 18 months ago, it was all hidden from view by hoardings.
The contrast of old and new is very well done. What's wonderful, is that you can climb all the stairs [lifts available too] to the roof for a free view!

Freaky Friday is the culmination of the Summer programs for the Tweens and Young Adults. They get to come to the library after hours on Friday and have pizza, games and win prizes! This year was a blast!
"The library is unusual in that it uses a custom system of organization which is designed to facilitate and emphasize browsing. For example the section on "Suburbia" is next to the section on "Domestic Environments" then "Architecture" which becomes "Graphic Design" which in turn leads to "Typography" and "Fine Arts" and then "Advertising" and "Sales". There is no Dewey Decimal system or card catalog."
Julian Franklin taught the kids all about Simple Machines in an exciting program with lots of audience participation!

I asked him what theme he wanted for August, and he said, "Trains!" I tell you, there is no shortage of children's books about trains. I had to stop looking after picking out six.

I met with NinkonJim for an unsatifactory morning in Mnt Auburn cemetry (not many birds around). We decided to go to the Boston Library and I was able to get a few HDR images of the interior.
The Horn Library project consists of three distinct, but integrated pillars for study, academic support, and social interaction and collaboration. The project is envisioned to provide an improved and expanded state-of-the-art study space for students, a centralized academic support center designed around student needs, and additional classroom and faculty office space. The project also includes a new and expanded Cutler Center in a prominent location that highlights the study of finance and investment for current and prospective students, and an update of the building systems, including mechanical systems to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
