read any good books lately?




You'll definitely find a few here—it's the Central Library,
the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. It was built
68 years ago, and their website tells me that more than
1.5 million people (almost the equivalent of the entire
population of Brooklyn) use the Central Library every
year. Including me—but I live only one short block away.

  1. What an enchanting building...I would definitely go inside and take my 4 yr old daughter too. I wonder if they have a good Dr Seuss collection. ;-)

  2. coltrane -- indeed, they do they have a large, welcoming, comfy, and well-stocked children's section. These pictures were taken on the terrace.
