Hey , let ’s all take a quick minute right now to acknowledge those brilliant beacons of book — gratis books , for good sake!—that dot townspeople across the country . The Public Library , a new hardback by photographer Robert Dawson , offer a poignant look at the incredible architectural range of these community hubs .
pitch through shows just how many personification there are out there — and they all elicit a completely dissimilar worked up reply . There are ultra - modern , technical school - heavy marrow , sites situated in strip malls , single , running - down rooms in minuscule towns , and grand inheritance edifice with built - in civic superbia . The whole affair make me think back to my own specific hometown branch that first introduced the adventures of reading right smart back when ( clapperclaw out toHermosa Beach ! ) , and how that place planted in me a deep - seed affection for schoolbook - found escape .
I ’ve peck out a few fashion wide - ranging object lesson from the book — which you could buy for$23 — and would love to hear your preferred library story below .
