Cairo Public Library - Cairo, Illinois

By jbottero

(2026-07-19)

The Cairo Public Library’s A. B. Safford Memorial Building is a monument to the love, devotion, and civic-minded foresight of Mrs. Anna Eliza Safford. A.B. Safford, Mrs. Safford’s husband, died in 1877. Seven years later on July 19, 1884, Mrs. Safford presented this building to the citizens of Cairo in his memory. As part of her remarks at the dedication of the new building, Mrs. Safford said, “More than six years ago, as soon as I could get beyond the thought of self, came the determination to erect a memorial building to the memory of the good and true man, one that, while perpetuating his memory, would also do the greatest good for the greatest number.” More than a century has past, yet Mrs. Safford’s charge to “do the greatest good for the greatest number” is still remembered by the Cairo Public Library.

Biblioteca Malatestiana

By jbottero

(2026-07-07)

The Malatestiana Library, also known as the Malatesta Novello Library, is a public library in the city of Cesena in northern Italy. Purpose-built from 1447 to 1452 and opened in 1454, and named after the local aristocrat Malatesta Novello, it is significant for being the first civic library in Europe, i.e. belonging to the commune rather than the church or a noble family, and open to the general public. The library was inscribed in UNESCO's Memory of the World Register in 2005.

The library survived a crisis during the Napoleonic Wars when the convent was suppressed, the building requisitioned as a barracks and the furniture and books removed into storage. Nevertheless in its whole history it has lost only six volumes, one of which was removed by the Inquisition and two by the French Republican commissioners. Today the library has over 400,000 books, including over 340 codices covering various fields such as religion, Greek and Latin classics, sciences and medicine, and about 3,200 manuscripts from the 16th century.

By jbottero

Coleg Harlech was Wales' only long-term, mature-student residential education college. It was established in 1927 by Thomas Jones. The library is a masterpiece with outstanding architectural design. Most of the library's books, artifacts and artworks were sold off during a financial crisis in 2013. In February 2017 it was announced that Coleg Harlech would be closing. In 2021 a petition to the Welsh Government stating "The Welsh Government should re-purchase and refurbish Coleg Harlech" gained 6,666 signatures. In February 2022, the Welsh Government approved some funding for emergency works to protect the buildings, but the former college sits abandoned today.
