Description
Eight photographs.
The first three photographs are of the first floor. The first is looking from the back of the library to the front. The second is looking towards the entrance from the staircase. Just visible is the stairs from the street up to the first floor. The third is of the circulation desk, looking towards the front of the library.
The fourth photograph is of the children's library on the second floor, looking from the elevator.
The fifth photograph is of the doors to the Community Room on the third floor. Located here are library offices and the restrooms; most of the floor is for staff.
The sixth through the eighth photographs are of the staircase. The first two steps on the first floor are of marble, after which the steps are made of modern material. Was the staircase originally marble and replaced? Looking from the third floor down to the landing and the iron designs of the railing are functional, with little design. The entire railing is painted blue as are the backs of the steps.
