Boston Public Library has existed as a recognizable architectural landmark and therefore, as an integral part of the Boston cityscape. However, the library is just one of many buildings from the era in the area and is by no means the most significant to the nation’s history, forcing the question of why the building is so very iconic. The justification can be found when the structure is dissected into a handful of key spaces. Through its innate grandeur in these areas, the Boston Public library…

Half-Priced Books The children’s and young adult’s section at half priced books is not everything that one would expect it to be. Both sections were at the back of the store stuffed into a small corner area which made each section feel very small. There were also more parents in these sections than children, but my description of these areas may explain why this is so.

Analysis of the Media Specialist & Media Program On Friday, February 10, I met with the Media Specialist at Valley Elementary School in Jefferson, MD for 45 minutes. She is a McDaniel graduate and had no teaching experience before she became a Media Specialist. She loves being a Media Specialist and working with young children.

public libraries are home for the building of communities and deepening of personal relationships. Citizens go to public libraries for varying reasons.

According to Orland Park Public Library’s Calendar of Events, public events such as pilates classes, along with craft nights, take place in the library. On other nights, board meetings will occupy the library floor…

Binghamton’s Carnegie Library nestles snugly in the shadows of city hall and the Security Mutual building on Exchange Street. Although no longer in use, the ‘old library’ (as the residents refer to it) stands as a reminder of Andrew Carnegie’s philanthropy, as well as the city’s former glory. The building’s architecture is entirely Classical, utilising Greek and Roman traditions to create an inviting exterior for the city’s library. The library’s Grecian influence is obvious at first glance, as…
