Description

Thanks to Susan Larson who comments: “In hindsight, it's too bad the charming old library was torn down.  It would have been so much more charming to have added an addition for more space.  When I was a little girl, my mother and I often went to the library in the evenings.  Going up the stairs and entering the main building, there were large dark-stained wooden shelves full of books.  The floors were also of dark wood.  The entire downstairs was the children's section.  There was a small stairway to the children's area.  The stairs had little square marble tiles on the treads.  While my mother looked for a book upstairs, I went downstairs and selected my allotment of 5 books to check out for 2 weeks."
