Finding the Coolest Libraries I thought about writing a post on the coolest libraries in the country, but the truth is, I haven’t been to them all.

Libraries in America at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
Let’s Go to the Library! How many times have we said it? Most of us can get to our local library within minutes and check out an armful of books and movies. We can ask a librarian to look something up for us, even while we’re at home on our computers. There is never a…
