Cincinnati Library late 19th century

With the aid of technology books are quickly becoming vintage...or at least quaint.

  2. I think there are more books in that photo than my local library keeps on-hand in the entire building. It's a shame.

  3. There is a library very similar in the town of Danville, Pa. where I lived for 4 years,..only it was made in a circle and 3 stories high of books. This brings back a lot of memories, for those libraries are a great part of history that is well preserved. Thanks for sharing this Sean. :-)

  4. Yes a wonderful pic of a unique time.  Wonder what the "card catalog" must have been like!
