The New Beloit Public Library, Part 2

The tour continues.

The reference collection

The photos may not give you a sense of the way the interior spaces are perfectlly lit. Evenly distributed and very gentle on the eyes.
The fireplace in the quiet reading room.

Another reading room view.

From the entrance of the quiet reading room.

A portion of the nonfiction collection.

Large-print (I think).
I didn't have a pen to take notes.

Space, space, and more space.
Welcoming and bright.


Focusing on the windows resulted in the underexposure.

At the end of the dedication program in the Library's meeting room, Board President Carl Balson gave the standing-room-only audience an indication of what our reaction would be once we began our self-guided tours.
WOW!!

I'm here to tell you he wasn't exaggerating.
