This is a relativelty short tour of the original 1910 Leominster Public Library, Leominster, Massachusetts. The finding to build the library came largely in part to Andrew Carnegie's Library Grant Program, which helped cities and towns build, or renovate, libraries, through large sums of grant money. For the most part, it's about the archetecture, but there are some retrospects on what was there during the era of the 1960's addition (demolished, along with original stacks building), plus some displays, and (conference) rooms. It was, and once again IS, a beautiful building. FYI: Yes, the big-pane casement windows on the old building ARE original.
