I saw the link for this on
Shelf Awareness (3/27/12) and it brought up a great article
Reused Libraries Rejuevenate Communities. In the last few years a trend has developed where buildings that were originally used for something else have been renovated into new libraries. The results are quite unique, often save the area money and preserve a bit of history. These are just two examples from the article. Wouldn't you love to visit and just curl up with a good book?

| Can you tell that this library in California was formerly a roller rink? |
Wonderful! I love to see abandoned spaces given new life like that.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. Are either of these close to you?
ReplyDeleteDon't they look wonderful? No they aren't near me, I live in NY state. I saw these pics on line and had to share!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that roller rink library. I wonder where in California it is. I would love to go check it out.
