to go! They supposed to renovate the 4th floor balcony which i was only out there once. The nicest part is the 4th floor with two story windows and a part inner balcony for floor 5 with a room or two. Lots of light!

I'd been taking out e-books since 2020. But lost my card in a move. Have to go to my local one, and get a new card.

Living in Brooklyn I was about 8 blocks from their Central Library! Big, with fabulous, fancy doors. Renovated front steps, and plaza with these sweet little low skinny fountains flanking the center stairs. Soooo pretty! Little planters. Chairs, and umbrellared tables on the plaza.

You walk into a big pre-lobby then inside to the main, really big ?3 story high lobby. A cafe in one corner, in the center are exhibition panels featuring either illustrations from books, or local artists works. Wonderful.

Elevators to other floors, except for the 2nd floor balcony, and inner rooms you go up, and down to by escalators. Up by the left wall, down by the right wall. They had displays up there for books, and art as well.

I haven't been there in about 14 yrs. I should pay a visit in Late April, early May! A very pretty tome to visit.
