Ronald McDonald visited the library and put on a fantastic magic show for the kids! He was even kind enough to stick around after the show so everyone could get their picture taken!

Low Memorial Library is a majestic building of truly monumental proportions. It is situated on a slight rise overlooking the south campus of Columbia University. This Roman stone building, designed in the form of a Greek cross, displays great classic grandeur. One of its chief features is an imposing Ionic portico (porch), consisting of ten superb fluted columns, supporting a simple cornice and high attic story, inscribed with references to the original King's College charter, An octagonal shaped drum, containing large semi-circular (lunette) windows, rises above the central portion of the building. Crowning the whole is a round low dome. Modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, the library building exhibits but little ornamental decoration and relies for its beauty on the strength of its pure classic form.
This remarkable building occupies an important site on the campus and in this setting plays a major role in the academic life of the University. Centrally located on the long axis of the campus, north of College Walk (116th Street), the building is separated from the street, by several flights of steps, two landings and a wide esplanade which terminates in landscaped areas. Located midway up the steps is the world renowned statue of Alma Mater, by Daniel Chester French, her outstretched arms welcoming all who come on campus. At the annual commencement ceremonies, weather permitting, the impressive graduation ceremony is held here in this dramatic setting with the library in the background.
Columbia University, chartered by George II in 1754 as Kings College, is the oldest college in New York State. Columbia came to Morningside Heights in 1897 and Low Library was the first major building erected on the present university site. The gift of Columbia president Seth Low, it was dedicated to the memory of his father Abiel A. Low. Once the main library of the University, it now serves as the administrative center where major academic gatherings and convocations are held. The interior rotunda, surrounded with magnificent Ionic columns, is especially well adapted to receptions. Among the noted guests that the University has received under the domed rotunda, have been King George VI of England and his wife, Queen Elizabeth, Sir Winston Churchill, President Auriol of France and Nehru of India.

This month's library display focuses on the life of Helen Keller and the Blind and Deaf community. April 8 is the anniversary of Helen Keller's "miracle": in March 1887, Anne Sullivan arrives in Alabama as teacher and livelong companion to the "unteachable" Helen Keller. Ms. Sullivan works a "miracle" when she teaches Helen Keller to communicate and in the process brings the Keller family closer to each other.
One of the stops we made on our roadtrip through the US was in Columbus, Indiana. We visited this library, designed by I.M. Pei.
