I Love and treasure my local libraries! Staff are very friendly and helpful!.. They will give you a tour if you need to find your way around! Don’t worry it is not that big! ;) I love the building from the XVII century… Make sure to checkout the marvelous horses at the top when you go in… And also the ceiling! :) HAPPY READING EVERYONE! :)

A book reading with music? I’m in. I found this library because they were hosting a Kristen Hersh reading and performance in their basement, and I ended up being pleasantly surprised by the whole building.
The Knight Memorial Library definitely stands out in the neighborhood for it’s sheer size. It was designed by Edward Tilton — the same man who designed Ellis Island — and is composed of lots of marble and stone. It is definitely grand, especially for a neighborhood library. However, when you walk into the building it has a welcoming vibe. The library itself looks comfortable for people of all ages. It feels airy but also warm. I didn’t get to check it out all that much that night, but I’m happy to have been introduced and I’m looking forward to coming back for other readings or just to check out a book. Go libraries!
