Eckhart Public Library

I travel around the city a lot, and I often find myself popping into libraries to spend time and look for resources. The Auburn building is a great library space — it’s a shame it can’t be replicated in more areas of the city.
The foyer is open and warm, with a statue of the branch’s namesake keeping safe watch over the books. I’m always blown away by the amount of light that is filtered into the space through large windows, a feature that makes this library all the more inviting to both adult and child.
The layout is wonderful (for a city the size of Auburn), with separate areas for children, (and story time), older children, and teens, with «suggestions» to guide reluctant readers. This branch always seems to have an abundance to documentaries and CDs, as well as a healthy collection of graphic novels.
On top of the friendly staff at the front, there is a second resource/​help desk in the middle of the library, between the fiction and non-​fiction shelves, to help any library or technology newbies.
Note: Since the library takes hundreds of pictures, and posts them on line. I will put the link here.
