Monday, March 10, 6:00 – 7:00 pm VIRTUAL
There’s more to a library than just shelves and books. Careful thinking and planning has informed the interior and exterior design of libraries as they evolved from medieval stacks to modern community centers. This program will explore the good, the bad and the amazingly innovative in library architecture, with a focus on the last century. (NOTE: This final event takes place on a Monday)
