Wow. I’ve always thought the Portland Central Library was very attractive for a public building, but those are some amazing libraries.
I was hoping at least one of my erstwhile hangouts would turn up on this site, and I see at least two: the Boston Public Library and Widener Library. My browser is sluggish today, so the photos didn’t come up, but I spent many many hours in both places, studying and reading for pleasure; many wonderful memories of both places — especially seeing Czeslaw Milosz read his poems at the BPL and acting in a “street theater” production of Aristophanes’ “The Clouds” on the spacious front steps of Widener. . . .
Evan: I had a very similar reaction.
David: Those are both beautiful structures. See. Jealous-making.
