The built-in in the room we call the library was probably a built-in china cabinet for what was likely to have been the Elder family dining room. The elements of the large room with a bay window at the end and an exterior door along with the built-in are common elements that would be found in a dining room of its day.
When we bought the house, the built-in cabinet had been converted into a wet bar. It was creepy and since we don't need a wet bar, we unconverted it and added some outlets and moved the light switch to the inside of the cabinet. Presently the cabinet contains some of Donnie's collection of cameras, old photos, and books. Our most recent contirbution to the books are a complete 1917 set of Encyclopedia Britannica that belonged to Harry H. Elder. We accidentally bumped into these at the Harwood house sale a few months ago and thought they needed to come home. Each book is marked inside with H.H. Elder 1917. That was a cool find.
There are some other old items in there as well. A Benjamin Oppenheimer (one of Trenton's early professional photographers) photo came up on eBay of child wearing a cap. On the back is written something that looks like H.H. Wade Jr. The first initials are questionable, so I'll have to see what I can discover about who the child really is.
Another interesting find is an illustrated copy of a Washington Irving 'The Sketch Book' The Stratford Edition that was given to WL Wade on Dec. 25, 1890. Surprisingly it's in pretty good condition.
By 1971 the Library was outgrowing its space, and on June 5, 1972, a new building was opened at 2815 W. 75th Street. Carol Iffland, the first Children’s Librarian, was hired in September of that same year.

Me: Jessamyn, is there anything in particular you'd like to see in the library?
Jessamyn: Do you have a basement? Like a weird, dark basement?
Me: Let me get the key.
(No idea why there was a super-soaker down there.)
Hazle Buck Ewing was a voracious reader whose library was lined with books, such as the Harvard Classics, that she filled with marginalia.

Here one gets a pretty good feeling of how the individual levels more or less 'float' above one-another, each stack of floors representing a different function. As each 'function-block' is horizontally shifted, the facade 'net' simply follows this shift.

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.
The Library of Congress in Washington DC.
Of all the musems we visted this seemed the least camera friendly. The security guards insisted on us running our cameras through the xray system and then grew impatient when we packed our gear up instead of placing it directly on the belt. Perhaps our bad luck.

VISUAL LIBRARIES - Leave your Mark.
A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
You can ‘Leave Your Mark’ in whatever way you want, ranging from drawing, writing, sewing, adding photographs, markings, printing and sticking. How you make your marks is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have fun with the different themes. Just borrow it on your library card with other books and materials. If you are not already a member, just ask the staff to help you.
45 Visual Library Books have been placed in Portsmouth Central Library and each has its own theme ranging from; Portsmouth, My City, When I Open My Eyes, Whilst I Was Waiting, Love, What’s in My Pocket and Memories. The intention is for you to feel free to explore the Visual Library Books and choose a theme that you like.

El Dorado's first library was built in 1912 from locally quarried hand-cut, native white limestone. Topped with the Spanish tiled roof, the library was funded in part by Andrew Carnegie. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is now privately owned with no public access, but it remains as a historic piece of distinguished architecture located across the street from the equally distinquished Court House built in 1909.
A new library was built in 1959 to accommodate the growth of public use of the library facilities. The Bradford Memorial Library was built with a donation by Mrs. Ruth Bradford as a memorial to her husband, Robert H. Bradford. The new library is located at 611 S. Washington.
