Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek (American Memorial Library) is one of the largest public libraries in Berlin, Germany. It was a donation from the United States after the Berlin Blockade, which took place in 1948/49. The building was designed by American and German architects, including Fritz Bornemann and Willy Kreuer. It was opened on September 17, 1954 and was originally planned to become the Central Library of Berlin. With the construction of the Berlin Wall and the separation of the German capital in 1962, this concept lapsed. On its 50th birthday, the library was honored for having been a symbol of freedom in times of political instability and the divided country.]]>

The Goodrich Memorial Library is a public library in Newport, Orleans County, Vermont. It is the largest and only one of two full time libraries in the county.

Converse Goodhue Goodrich and his wife, Almira, donated money for the construction of a free library. The land was worth $6000, the building $20,000. Construction was started in 1898. It dedicated on September 1, 1899. Architect William Storey designed the building.

The stock used to fund the operations of the library failed during the depression in 1933. This forced the library to enlist public support.

It opened with 6500 books.

In November 1983, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.]]>

1. An association for the advancement of learning, particularly in the fields of science or literature

2. A building for storing books or newspapers; a library, reading-room etc.

The St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, is significant because of its construction, the American landscape paintings and books from its original role as a public library and free art gallery, and funding by Horace Fairbanks, manufacturer of the world’s first platform scale. The art collection contains a number of Hudson River School paintings. This unaltered building retains a strong, Victorian (French Second Empire) flavor of the 19th century. It is one of about ten athenaeums in the United States.]]>

The Margaret I. King Library consisted of three contiguous buildings at the University of Kentucky. A southern and northern addition were added to the original building.
In April 1998, the William T. Young Library opened and by May, most of the functions of the King Library had been relocated.
Today, the King Library is home to Special Collections and Digital Programs, the Geological Sciences Library and Map Collection, the King Library Press, several library support offices and the School of Library and Information Science. King North became the Lucille Caudill Little Fine Arts Library and Learning Center. In 1999, the bridge that connected the former King North to the original King Library was removed. One year later, the Little Fine Arts Library was extensively renovated.]]>

All Saints' Chapel, now the Rosendale Library, is located on Main Street (NY 213) in Rosendale, New York, United States. It was originally built as a Gothic Revival Episcopal church from locally mined Rosendale cement, a material which covers the stonework exterior walls.

After floods from nearby Rondout Creek damaged the building in the mid-1950s, the church abandoned it. It also survived a fire in the mid-1970s. A newly-formed local library district was created to restore it for use as a library. In 1986 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.]]>

It appears that the most recent Google imagery (as of Oct '10) is extremely new as construction of the new library building is nearing completion.

Meanwhile, Bird's Eye View still shows the old building.

One woman tried very hard to save that old structure. Designed and built in the mid-50's, she claimed it "should be saved because it represents what was once a new era of libraries," adding, "it is important to the character of the neighborhood."

Eventually what she dragged on and on came to an end and the old 5,000 square foot library was demolished so construction on the new 9,400 square foot library could get underway.]]>

The Portico Library is a subscription library in central Manchester, north-west England.

It was established following a meeting of Manchester business people in 1803 which resolved to found an "institute uniting the advantages of a newsroom and a library". A visit by four of those men to the Athenaeum in Liverpool inspired them to achieve a similar institution in Manchester. Money was raised through members' subscriptions and it opened in 1806.

The library, mainly focused on 19th century literature, is housed in a Grade II* neo-classical listed building, designed by Thomas Harrison (architect of The Lyceum, Liverpool which was the second such institution to be built in that city), and built by one of the founders, David Bellhouse. One of the secretaries was Peter Mark Roget who began his famous Thesaurus here.

Today, the building also accommodates an exhibition space. The ground floor is now tenanted by a public house though it was let to a bank for many years, while the library remains upstairs.]]>

Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library (BRBL) was a 1963 gift of the Beinecke family. The building, designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft, of the firm of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, is the largest building in the world reserved exclusively for the preservation of rare books and manuscripts. It is located at the center of the University, in Hewitt Quadrangle, which is more commonly referred to as "Beinecke Plaza". A six-story above-ground tower of book stacks is surrounded by a windowless rectangular building with walls made of a translucent Danby marble, which transmit subdued lighting and provide protection from direct light. Three floors of stacks extend under Hewitt Quadrangle. The sculptures in the sunken courtyard are by Isamu Noguchi and are said to represent time (the pyramid), sun (the circle), and chance (the cube). The library also contains an exhibition hall that, among other things, displays one of the 48 extant copies of the Gutenberg Bible, study areas, reading rooms, the catalogue room, microfilm room, offices, and the book storage areas. The two books of the Gutenberg Bible are left open in a display case, and the librarians at Beinecke are said to turn one page of each book daily.

The display of the original core of the British Library, the original gift of King George III, as found in the new British Library building at Euston in London, is designed as a silent tribute to the elegance of the Beinecke.]]>

The Anne & Jerome Fisher Fine Arts Library, also known as the Furness Library, is located on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania, on the east side of College Green. Designed by the acclaimed Philadelphia architect Frank Furness (1839-1912), the red sandstone, brick-and-terra-cotta Venetian Gothic giant—part fortress and part cathedral—was built to be the primary library of the University, and to house its archeological collection. The cornerstone was laid in October 1888, construction was completed in 1890, and the building was dedicated in February 1891]]>

The Converse Memorial Building, also known as Converse Memorial Library, is a public library building designed by noted American architect H. H. Richardson. From 1885 to 1996, when construction of a new library addition was completed, the building was also home to the Malden Public Library. The Converse Memorial Building is located at 36 Salem Street, Malden, Massachusetts.

The building was a gift of Elisha S. and Mary D. Converse in memory of their murdered son, Frank Eugene Converse who was the victim of the first bank robbery/murder in North America. It was constructed 1883-1885 in an overall L-shape, with a facade of brown Longmeadow sandstone, a tower rising from the L's inner corner, and a heavily arched entry porch set within the L's short arm. The main library room is 50 x 36 feet and finished in elaborately carved white oak with a high, vaulted ceiling. Its furniture was designed by Richardson and manufactured by the Boston firm of Albert H. Davenport Company.

The Converse Memorial Building is the last of Richardson's library designs and generally considered among his finest works. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987.]]>
