The goal is "to increase the number of people in Shirlington to create a round-the-clock environment there."Daniela Deane, "Making Shirlington a Magnet; Developers Planning Stores, Theater, Condos to Bring More People to Village in Arlington," The Washington Post, January 29, 2005, p. F1. As of 2012, The Village at Shirlington has a wide variety of eating options.
In a 1940 letter to the librarian of the whites-only library, Tucker stated that he would refuse to accept a card to the new blacks-only branch library in lieu of a card to be used at the existing library. The photograph of the sit-in participants in jackets and ties calmly but resolutely being escorted from the library by uniformed police has itself become a learning aid in Alexandria. Periodically, the city has commemorated the sit-in and used it as a teaching opportunity about the Jim Crow segregation era, with students from Samuel W. Tucker Elementary donning similar attire, acting out the sit-in events and posing in recreations of the photograph.
In July 2009, the Black Rock Branch Library, the area's library, expanded in size from 6,000 to 11,000 square feet, and was renovated to be outfitted with wi-fi and public computers. On December 5, 2011, the Fairfield Metro station opened on, which eased the burden on Fairfield station, and made commuting via Metro-North easier for Black Rock residents. While the neighborhood is overwhelmingly residential, there is a significant commercial presence along Fairfield Avenue, the main thoroughfare, which connects Black Rock to Fairfield and downtown Bridgeport. Fairfield Avenue is in a state of transition with older businesses being replaced by upscale restaurants, cafes, espresso bars, gourmet ice cream shops, and art galleries.
As Chief of Branches for the Detroit Public Library, Ulveling oversaw the creation of the Detroit system for self-book-charging and the opening of the Parkman Branch Library. While serving as the Associate Director of the Detroit Public Library from 1934 to 1941 and as chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Michigan Library Association (MLA), Ulveling won the first state aid for libraries in Michigan from the Michigan legislature in 1937. As President of the MLA from 1937–1938, he was instrumental in the creation of the Michigan State Board for Libraries by the Michigan legislature. After his tenure as president of the MLA, Ulveling served on the Michigan State Board for Libraries from 1938-1939.
Town Hall Great Barrington employs the open town meeting form of government, and is led by a board of selectmen and a town manager. Great Barrington has its own public services, including police, fire and public works departments. The town has two libraries, with the main branch, Mason Library, at 231 Main Street in Great Barrington, and a branch library, Ramsdell Library, at 1087 Main Street in the village of Housatonic, both of which are part of the regional library network. The town is home to Southern Berkshire District Court,"South Berkshire District Court", State of Massachusetts as well as Fairview Hospital, the largest hospital in the southern end of the county (based on the number of beds).
The limitations expressed in the terms of the original incorporation eventually rendered the possibilities of growth and effective work too small. To overcome this difficulty, “An Act to incorporate the New York Free Circulating Library” was passed by the state legislature at Albany on April 18, 1884. The first fruit of this new freedom from restriction as to its property holdings came to the library in shape of a letter dated May 12, 1884, from Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung. Ottendorfer wished to give the NYFCL a branch library at 135 2nd Avenue (near 8th Street) with about 8,000 volumes, half of which were in the German language, the others in the English language.
After graduating from high school in 1930, Norton planned to become a teacher, and began studying at Flora Stone Mather College of Western Reserve University. However, in 1932 she had to leave because of the Depression and began working for the Cleveland Library System, where she remained for 18 years, latterly in the children's section of the Nottingham Branch Library in Cleveland. In 1934, she legally changed her name to Andre Alice Norton, a pen name she had adopted for her first book, published later that year, to increase her marketability, since boys were the main audience for fantasy. During 1940–1941, she worked as a special librarian in the cataloging department of the Library of Congress.
Locations page at SJ Library site (See BL article for its references.) The East San Jose Carnegie Branch Library, a Carnegie library opened in 1908, is the last Carnegie library in Santa Clara County still operating as a public library and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As the result of a bond measure passed in November 2000, a number of brand new or completely reconstructed branches have been completed and opened. The yet-to- be-named brand new Southeast Branch is also planned, bringing the bond library project to its completion. The San Jose system (along with the University system) were jointly named as "Library of the Year" by the Library Journal in 2004.
The park's vicinity has seen the construction of numerous architecturally significant buildings of which several are listed in the National Register of Historic Places: the Sheraton Town-House, Felipe de Neve Branch Library, and Bullocks Wilshire, all built in 1929. Neighboring the park are also the First Congregational Church — an English Gothic Revival building completed in 1932 — and a 19-story glass building that houses a branch of the Los Angeles Superior Court (built in 1972). Lafayette Park is fenced off and closed at night, avoiding much of the negative reputation that affects its immediate neighbor, MacArthur Park. However, access to the park is available at all times of the day and night.
Golden Gate Valley Branch (2016) In June 1917, to serve residents of the growing Golden Gate Valley, Cow Hollow, and Marina neighborhoods, construction of the Golden Gate Valley Branch Library was begun at a site on the southwest corner of Green and Octavia Streets that had been purchased by the City for $7,500. The resulting brick and terra cotta Beaux-Arts structure was designed in the shape of a basilica by local architect Ernest Coxhead. Though Carnegie grant funds paid for the building, City funds were used for the furnishings. The total cost of the building and furnishings came to $43,000, and on May 5, 1918, the branch was opened to the public.
Della Chiesa began his political career in 1943 when he succeeded his brother, Aldo (who had entered the military), on the Quincy City Council. From 1954 to 1957, Della Chiesa served as Quincy's mayor under the Plan E form of government, in which the position of Mayor was a ceremonial one appointed by the city council while the government was run by a city manager. When the city switched to a Plan A form of government, he was elected to position, which he held until his retirement in 1965. During his tenure as mayor, Quincy Vocational Technical School was constructed and additions were built at Quincy City Hospital, North Quincy Branch Library, and the Atlantic Fire Station.
This land was then purchased by ODNR for use as parkland. The state also spent $607,000 ($ in dollars) on gabions to stabilize Euclid Creek's banks between Anderson and Mayfield Roads, and another $250,000 ($ in dollars) to straighten and add retaining walls to Euclid Creek's Redstone Run tributary between Schaefer Park and Roland Park in Lyndhurst. The Cleveland Public Library (CPL) system purchased of land from Villa Angela in September 1990 for $160,000 ($ in dollars) for the construction of a new branch library to replace its Nottingham and Memorial branches (which it intended to merge).; In May 1991, CPL purchased an additional of Villa Angela land (which included the 1973 school building) for $2.2 million ($ in dollars).
The area is also home to Stannington branch library, but this facility no longer has a professionally staffed, council-run library service, having been run by volunteers since the council threatened the branch with closure in 2014. This was despite vocal opposition from campaign group Sheffield Communities Against Library Privatisation, which argued that "only a first rate, professionally run and publicly funded library service is good enough for our city". Book loans reduced considerably following the handover to volunteers. In addition issues regarding the library's volunteer application form allegedly not asking for references and the volunteer library allegedly accidentally publishing postcodes of respondents to a consultation on its website have also been highlighted on social media.
The Milford Bay Public Library opened up in 1972 in the original Community Centre location which was also the Council Chambers as the village of Milford Bay had not yet been amalgamated with Port Carling and the surrounding villages to form the Township of Muskoka Lakes. This library was set up as a branch of the Township of Muskoka Lakes Public Library System and continues as such today. The humble beginnings started with books donated from the residents of Milford Bay, and the Port Carling branch library donated books and some shelving and approximately $100.00 cash. Neil Donald, a resident of the community, volunteered his time to build the remaining shelving and was assisted by Don Goltz.
Most of South San Gabriel was later annexed by the city of Rosemead (mostly during the mid-1960s), though parts of it were annexed by other adjacent cities and part of it remains unincorporated today. Most of the area of South San Gabriel which had been called Wilmar was annexed by Rosemead, but one section of it lying north of the San Bernardino Freeway between New Avenue and San Gabriel Boulevard was annexed by the city of San Gabriel. The main streets of Wilmar were Del Mar Avenue, Graves Avenue, Hellman Avenue, Ramona Boulevard, and Garvey Avenue. It was the site of a Los Angeles County branch library, and of three schools of the Garvey School District.
NJUCM is established in 1954, which is one of the earliest established universities of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. The name of the university was changed to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine in 1995, former names of which are Jiangsu Traditional Training School(Chinese: 江苏省中医进修学校; pinyin: Jiāngsū Shěng Zhōngyī Jìnxiū Xuéxiào), Jiangsu Provincial School of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Chinese: 江苏省中医学校; pinyin: Jiāngsū Shěng Zhōngyī Xuéxiào), the Branch Library of Jiangsu New Medical College (Chinese: 江苏新医学院; pinyin: Jiāngsū Xīnyī Xuéyuàn), Nanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine College (Chinese: 南京中医学院; pinyin: Nánjīng Zhōngyī Xuéyuàn).
It underwent a number of alterations in the 18th and early 19th centuries, including some designed by architect Henry Vaughan in 1899. It housed a municipal court on the upper level from 1961 to 1973, and housed community organization activities until 1981, when it was taken over by the local historical society. In addition to the old town hall, the historic district includes an 1861 district schoolhouse which now serves as a branch library, and a 1906 fire station. The common is the site of a number of war memorials, commemorating the military service of Salem natives in various military conflicts, and the town's original burying ground, which dates to about 1741, the year in which the border was determined.
Classes began on the afternoon of Monday, August 30, 2010, and a grand opening followed on September 17 at a final, on-budget construction cost of $45.3 million. The school was built at a 20 hectare site as part of a $94.3 million Community School project which also included a Catholic Central High School West Campus, Crossings Branch Library, and the Crossings Leisure Complex. The first principal was Clark Bosch, formerly of Winston Churchill High School. A high number of the first staff and athletic directors were formerly of Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, The school features a 350-seat theatre, with similar amenities to the Genevieve E. Yates Memorial Centre in south Lethbridge, as well as a large gymnasium with arena style lighting.
Metropolitan Branch Rendering The Atlanta–Fulton Public Library System is currently building the Southwest Atlanta Branch Library in the neighborhood at 1332 Metropolitan Parkway, Atlanta, GA 30310. The Library System is engaged in a $275 million building program, funded by a library bond referendum approved by Fulton County voters in 2008. The project is divided into two phases. Phase I of the Library Building Program consists of 10 projects, 8 new libraries – Alpharetta, East Roswell, Metropolitan, Milton, Northwest Atlanta, Palmetto, Southeast Atlanta, and Wolf Creek – and 2 expanded libraries – Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History and South Fulton – with a total budget of $167 million; these dollars include everything from design and construction to funding for collections.
The temporary Brentwood branch of the Contra Costa County Library, located at 104 Oak Street, across from the Civic Center and City Park, was razed early in 2017, along with two other city-owned buildings at 118 and 120 Oak Street. These buildings will be replaced by the long-awaited new Brentwood branch library. Meanwhile, the contents of the former temporary facility were moved across Oak Street to a space in the new Community Center. The Brentwood City Council approved the design for the new facility in September, 2016. Cost of the project was originally estimated at $12.2 million, which would have been funded by the remaining bond money that was originally raised to build the new City Hall, Community Center and parking garage.

The Main Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library system The Salt Lake City Public Library system is a network of public libraries funded by Salt Lake City. The Free Public Library of Salt Lake City first opened on February 14, 1898. The system is under the direction of a library board and circulates more than three million items each year. There are nine locations: the Main Branch library downtown, the Anderson-Foothill Branch, the Chapman Branch in Poplar Grove, the Day-Riverside Branch in Rose Park, the Sprague Branch in Sugar House, the Corrine & Jack Sweet Branch in the Avenues, the Glendale Branch (opened in February 2015), and the Marmalade Branch in the Marmalade neighborhood of Capitol Hill (opened in February 2016).
As OHP developed over the years, the OHPA embraced the later developed streets located between Wiswall Road and Spiers Road, including the south side of Dedham Street. OHP bought up park land along the Charles River to protect it from development, as well as building the Shuman Centre, a small house-like building close to the shopping center. This served as a community center and home for the now closed branch library (once located at the northern end of the shopping center, and later in Room 8 of Memorial School). OHP also successfully stopped development on an extension of Saw Mill Brook Parkway that would have connected with the Wells Office Park and sent rush hour traffic zipping through the heart of OHP.
During construction the reading room was transferred to temporary premises and the lending department was closed from April to June 1906. The library was opened with little ceremony on 1 December 1906 by Mr. Daniel Bisbrown, J.P., Chairman of the Runcorn Urban District Council, who was presented with a silver key with which he opened the main entrance. A public ceremony had been decided against as there was a risk of protests and boycotts by those who disagreed with how Carnegie made the money which enabled him to make the grant for the library. It remained Runcorn's central library until 9 November 1981 when a new library was opened at Runcorn Shopping City and the Carnegie Library became a branch library.
The film Take Shelter includes a scene in which Michael Shannon enters the Elyria Main branch library and looks for books. The character of Officer Richard Lymangood, in the film Blue Thunder, was born in Elyria, according to the helicopter terminal database.

Plaque honoring crash victims A memorial plaque honoring those who died on both planes and on the ground is located in the San Diego Aerospace Museum, near the Theodore Gildred Flight Rotunda in San Diego's Balboa Park. On the 20th anniversary of the crash, a tree was planted next to the North Park branch library, and a memorial plaque was dedicated to those who lost their lives. The library is not in the immediate vicinity of the actual crash site; it has been completely rebuilt and bears no visible evidence of the crash. On September 25, 2008, over 100 relatives and friends of the victims of PSA 182 gathered at Dwight and Nile Streets in North Park for a 30th-anniversary memorial of the crash.

In 2007, the Broadway Hollywood Building underwent extensive reconstruction and has opened as a luxury class apartment building. The building has an art deco style annex just to the west of it built in the 1930s. (1943). In 1927, while researching The Skyscraper for DeMille Studios, Ayn Rand visited the building and, while waiting for her contact to arrive, went to the nearby Hollywood Branch Library, where she was reunited with Frank O'Connor, whom she had lost track of 6 months earlier when DeMille's The King of Kings finished shooting; Rand and O'Connor then began dating, were married in 1929 until his death in 1979. Just to the south on Vine was the fabled Hollywood Plaza Hotel, built in 1924 and home to silent film star Clara Bow's "It Cafe".
The South Branch library, previously independently housed in the Boyd Hill Nature Center, became part of the city's system in 2002 along with the Johnson Branch, with both libraries receiving new facilities between 13,500 feet and 14,700 feet. The West Community Library at St. Petersburg College, a joint-use facility that serves both public patrons and SPC students, opened in 2005, replacing the Azaela branch. The Childs Park library is the newest addition to the St. Petersburg Library System, which opened in 2009, located inside the Childs Park YMCA In 2018, Mayor Rick Kriseman proposed that the Main Library be renamed after President Barack Obama. This change was approved by the city council, and will come with $6 million in renovations set to begin in 2020 and be funded via the "Penny for Pinellas" tax.
The illustration below is "The Family", one of a series of panels painted by Reid who described his goal to present community life in an idealistic fashion through a series of pastoral landscape. The murals include the names of 12 British authors and eight literary themes throughout the composition. McCarthy's murals were painted in the children's club room in 1932 and feature bright, energetic scenes from familiar British and American fairy tales, such as Jack the Giant Killer, Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella. Prior to the expansion of the branch library, local residents David Self and John McAuley worked with the local librarian and the library board to develop a strategy for restoring the murals and recruited conservationist Laslo Cser to show how this could be done.
The present-day Seattle Public Library has a Central Library (completed 2004) designed by Rem Koolhaas and 26 branch libraries. The current Central Library is the third on the site, preceded by a Beaux-Arts Carnegie library (built 1904–1906, demolished 1957) designed by Peter J. Weber, a German-born architect from Chicago and an International Style replacement opened 1960, with Bindon & Wright as the primary architect and Decker Christenson & Kitchin as associated architects. Six present-day public library branches (West Seattle, Green Lake, University, Queen Anne, Columbia, Fremont) are Carnegie libraries opened between 1910 and 1921; a former Carnegie library in Ballard, predating Ballard's annexation by Seattle, is now a bar and restaurant. Also from that era, Douglass-Truth, originally Yesler, was the first branch library financed by Seattle itself.
Founded in 1875, parts of Arlington made up the City of Riverside at its founding in 1883, while other parts were annexed in 1961 and 1964. Farming was a major mainstay of the economy, with an emphasis on citrus cultivation that has continued to the present day in the Arlington Heights and South Arlington neighborhoods, which lie to the south of the core business district. By 1910, the present small downtown of Arlington had developed on Magnolia Avenue. Among the structures still standing from this era are the 1910 Jenkins Building on the corner of Van Buren Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue, which has housed a variety of retail and commercial services, and the 1908-1909 Arlington Branch Library, a classical revival building that was renovated in 1996 and expanded in 2008.
"Robert W. Saunders Sr. Public Library", Hillsborough County Government The new $7 million, two-story building was designed by the Harvard Jolly architecture firm. Unlike the original opening of the Ybor City Branch Library in 1933, when no program to mark the opening took place, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on August 12, 2015 to celebrate the grand opening of the new Robert W. Saunders Sr. Public Library. Two pieces from the old library were incorporated into the new building: a bronze bust of Robert W. Saunders Sr., and the exterior stone mural called "Symbols of Mankind." The new library features a bookstore, a recording room for visitors to record their oral histories and stories, a children's room with movable furniture, and a 350-seat community room equipped with a full-size commercial kitchen.

The outbreak of hostilities in 1939 and the heavy air-raids on Sheffield in December 1940 affected the development of the archive collections in several unfortunate ways. Staff shortages soon meant that only routine attention could be given them, and in December 1941 they were removed for safety to a comparatively rural branch library where premises had been specially strengthened to protect them. More disastrous, the Sheffield Union offices in West Bar, where the Guardians' records still remained, together with the surviving records of the old overseers of the poor, were completely destroyed by enemy action. At the same time business firms were turning out their old records for salvage; the Library does not appear to have taken any steps to save such records from destruction and much was undoubtedly lost at this period.

Ltd on Hunter Road are a manufacturer of confectionery who have been established in the area since 1921. The district is also a shopping area, centred on Hillsborough Corner, which includes a Wetherspoons pub, a Subway sandwich shop and many well-known shopping chains including Boots, Superdrug and Wilko, but also has a lot of independent shops, some for household goods and clothes and (due to its large residential population) amenities such as butchers, green grocers and off-licences, in addition to a wide range of restaurants, cafés, pubs and bars. Landmarks in the district include the Hillsborough Barracks, Hillsborough House which is now the Hillsborough branch library, Hillsborough Arena in Hillsborough Park, Owlerton Stadium and Regent Court flats.
An August 2016 report from the authority recommended that the subject property be declared surplus to Council requirements with a view to a disposal at optimum value. Following its closure, the library was given a Grade II listing by Historic England in June 2017. Reasons for designation were cited as the design quality ("neo-Georgian design displays a careful attention to detail that belies its tiny scale"), the survival of original internal features, and being a "well-preserved example of a small inner-city branch library". An application for planning and listed building consent by Park Lane Group, a property developer with numerous student flats in the area, to refurbish the former library building as a co- working space and to build a five-storey rear extension of 60 co-living apartments was approved in 2019.
Tarea Hall Pittman (1903–July 31, 1991) was an American civil rights leader who served as President of the California State Association of Colored Women’s Clubs from 1936 to 1938 and of the California Council of Negro Women from 1948 to 1951, and as Director of the West Coast Region of the NAACP from 1961 to 1965. Pittman organized protests to force Kaiser Shipyards to hire African Americans in 1941 and 1942, helped desegregate the Oakland Fire Department in 1952, and lobbied successfully for the California Fair Employment Practices Act in 1959 and subsequent laws in Arizona, Alaska, and Nevada. Throughout her career, Pittman was a frequent host of the Negroes in the News radio program. In 2015 the Berkeley, California city council voted to rename the city's South Branch Library in Pittman's honor after a community petition.
The building also houses an Irish dance academy. In 2019, the Cleveland Public Library appointed an architectural team to renovate and build an addition on the system’s West Park Branch Library, as part of a 10-year, $100 million plan to update 27 branches throughout the city. The project, funded by a tax increase in 2017, which won by a near 70% margin, should be completed by 2029 when the system will invest an additional $65 million into renovations of the Main Library in downtown Cleveland. The neighborhood has been the site for the “Hooley,” an outdoor, family-oriented party that features Irish dance, music, food and drink. Celebrating its 10th Anniversary in 2019, the Hooley (Irish for a “lively gathering”) is traditionally opened either by the Cleveland Police Pipe and Drums or the Cleveland Firefighters Memorial Pipe and Drums.

The automobile relationship with Seattle would shape Lake City development and neighborhood character. Lake City would remain relatively remote and suburban from Seattle until years after WWII. Transition to a neighborhood community was marked in 1935 with the start of the Lake City Branch Library of today as a few shelves of books in part of a room in Lake City School, shared with the WPA. Sponsorship was by the Pacific Improvement Club community group. Lake City incorporated as a township in 1949 with more than 40,000 residents; rapid growth was a product of a massive influx of young suburban families after World War II. The City of Seattle annexed Lake City and other communities in 1954 when the city limits were expanded from 85th Street to 145th Street.(1) Wilma, (5 December 2002, Essay 4031) (2) Phelps, Chapter 15, "Annexation", pp.
Old Central Library The first library in Queens was founded in 1858 in Flushing as a subscription service. It became a free circulation library in 1869. In the late 19th century, several local libraries were founded in western Queens. The libraries in Astoria, Long Island City and Steinway formed the Long Island City Public Library in 1896, becoming Queens' first multi-branch library. In 1901, shortly after the consolidation of Queens into New York City, the city government proposed a new charter joining all libraries in Queens into the Queens Borough Public Library. All of the public libraries signed on, except for Flushing, which remained independent until 1903. The Queens Borough Public Library was officially incorporated in 1907. Due to the wide variation in population density in Queens, in 1906, the Queens Borough Public Library established small branches in store-fronts and shopping areas under the Traveling Library program.
Port Hueneme’s first library was founded by prominent resident, Senator Thomas Bard, in the 1880s but closed a few years later. In 1909, the Women’s Improvement Club reestablished the Hueneme Library which operated as a branch of the Oxnard Library. Ventura County Library began operation of a branch library to serve the Hueneme School District and in 1936, Hueneme Library joined the Ventura County Library system. In 1960, the branch relocated to a new facility. The current facility was built in 1989, providing Port Hueneme residents with a library reflective of the community’s ocean environment, with natural light and ocean wave-inspired Italian glass mosaics by Ventura artist, Helle Scharling-Todd, “designed to express the conflicting energies found in the ever-changing sea.” Mosaics representing the tide begin outside the library and continue into the lobby; wave forms are depicted on the far wall inside the library.
On 19 January 1973, Toa Payoh was selected as the Games Village for the 1973 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games in Singapore, the three storey building in Toa Payoh served as the quarters for the Secretariats and the various sub- committees for the event which was held from 1 to 8 September 1973. Following the event, the building was later converted, and initially reopened as the Toa Payoh Branch Library on 7 February 1974 by Sha'ari Tadin, the then Senior Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Culture, in the place of Jek Yuen Thong, the then Minister for Culture. It then changed its name to Toa Payoh Community Library on 1 September 1995, after the National Library Board became a statutory board. It then went under major renovation in 1997, before reopening on 9 May 1999 by Mr Wong Kan Seng, then Minister for Home Affairs.

Before Washburn Library was built, another library was proposed for Southwest Minneapolis, Gratia Countryman Library at 54th St. and Penn Ave. In 1959 the Minneapolis Public Library Board requested the City Council to acquire by condemnation a site for the new Gratia Countryman Branch Library. The desired land was in southwest Minneapolis in the vicinity of 54th St W. and Penn Ave S. The proposed library was to be the first neighborhood library built by MPL since 1931, when the Linden Hills branch was built. It would serve an area of about 30,000 residents, who were currently accessing library services via the bookmobile and at the nearest branch, the Linden Hills library, several miles away. The Countryman library was also scheduled to be the first in an ambitious 20-year branch expansion program which would extend library services to areas of the city not already served.

The Carnegie library built for African Americans in the city was the only Carnegie library for blacks in the entire country. The Masonic Temple, built in 1903, was owned jointly by three black fraternal lodges and stood as a tribute to the business capacity and enterprise of the black community. The district is home to five buildings listed on the National Register separately: #50px Elson-Dudley House (1101 29th Ave) #50px Masonic Temple (1220 26th Ave) # Dial House (1003 30th Ave) #50px Merrehope Historical Home (905 31st Ave) # Carnegie Branch Library (2721 13th St) Structures still standing that are identified as pivotal to the nature of the district include: #left 3010 9th St – Two-story Mediterranean style wooden residence with pyramidal roof.

In 1939, Tucker organized a sit-in at Alexandria Library, which refused to issue library cards to black residents. On August 21, five young black men whom Tucker had recruited and instructed – William Evans, Otto L. Tucker, Edward Gaddis, Morris Murray, and Clarence Strange – entered the library one by one, requested applications for library cards and, when refused, each one took a book off the shelf and sat down in the reading room until they were removed by the police. Tucker had instructed the men to dress well, speak politely and offer no resistance to the police so as to minimize the chance of the men being found guilty of disorderly conduct or resisting arrest. Tucker defended the men in the ensuing legal actions, which resulted in the disorderly conduct charges against the protestors being dropped by city attorney Armistead Boothe (who would later become a key figure in desegregating Virginia schools), and in a branch library being established for blacks.
Since the Lakewood Branch Library closed temporarily on May 1, 2004, for a period Scenic Woods area residents had to travel to the Dixon Library, the McCrane-Kashmere Gardens Library, and the Tuttle Library in Denver Harbor to receive library services. Galloway asked METRO to establish a shuttle from the Lakewood Library to the McCrane Kashmere library, but Chip Lambert, a spokesperson for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), said that under FTA rules METRO is not allowed to operate charter routes. The library was closed on June 9, 2007 through June 13, 2007 to receive $107,000 ($ when adjusted for inflation) worth of repairs funded by a $40 million HPL capital improvement bond and Community development block grants and Housing and Urban Development grants. The HPL director of building services, Issa Dadoush, stated that the repairs were for the air conditioning systems and controls and that renovations were scheduled to be completed on July 30, 2007.
The next thirty years saw steady but modest growth in the collections. Library services at Crawley initially operated out of the Main Library which was set up in a wing of the Administration building (now the Visitors Centre). By the early 1960s, overcrowding had become a significant issue leading to the Winthrop Hall Undercroft being enclosed and then re- opened as a temporary library annexe consisting of the Reserve collection for undergraduates and bound volumes of periodicals. It was not until Leonard Jolley became the University Librarian in 1959 that the Library began to expand its collections rapidly, to experiment with new forms of information technology, to erect major new library buildings, and to bring departmental libraries under central responsibility. A Music branch library had been set up as early as 1935, many years before the UWA Music department was established. In the 1960s, the library was named the Wigmore Music Library following substantial gifts from violinist Alice Ivy Wigmore in honor of her mother.
On June 9, Mayor Walsh and the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center set up a new pop-up testing site in Roxbury. This is as a result of the recent protests in and around Boston over the Killing of George Floyd. On June 11, the Cambridge-based biotech company Moderna announced they had developed a COVID-19 vaccine ready to be tested in a large scale. Moderna had 30,000 volunteers ready to test the vaccine in July, to see its effects. On June 11, Massachusetts announced a study with 150 volunteers to test if COVID-19 survivor plasma can prevent COVID-19. Thousands of COVID-19 patients worldwide have been treated with convalescent plasma already. On June 12, Boston Public Library announced the launch of their "BPL to Go" program on June 22. This program allowed patrons to "order" library items by placing a hold on the item, and then safely picking up the item from a branch library.
The New Albany Community Foundation’s impact is noteworthy for a city of only 10,000 residents. Since its inception, the New Albany Community Foundation has awarded more than $12 million in grants to local community and school organizations to support lifelong learning, the arts, health and wellness, and environmental sustainability and historic preservation. As of 2019 the Foundation had more than $15 million in assets and more than 70 endowment funds established by families and companies. The New Albany Community Foundation has been called “instrumental to the success of this community” and “part of making the community a vibrant and great place to live.” The Foundation’s major initiatives include raising funds and community support to establish and endow the New Albany branch library, the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts, the New Albany Lecture Series (formerly the Jefferson Series), Healthy New Albany, Safety Town, a student lecture series, an author residency program for the public school district, and the Charleen & Charles Hinson Amphitheater.
A section of SR 124 passing through downtown Waitsburg near its terminus with US 12 SR 124 begins at a dogbone interchange with US 12 in Burbank on the eastern shore of the Snake River near its confluence with the Columbia River in Pasco (part of the Tri-Cities). The highway travels east from the interchange onto Ice Harbor Drive after passing Hood Park on the shore of the Snake River and a local branch library. The two-lane road is rural with a speed limit of as it passes north of the McNary National Wildlife Refuge. SR 124 dips northeast and crosses over a set of railroad tracks carrying the Ayer Subdivision of the Union Pacific Railroad north towards the Ice Harbor Lock and Dam. The highway then turns northeast and ascends a ridge that overlooks the Snake River, which continues north while SR 124 travels east through the Eureka Flat.
The collection today is also very strong on works of history, politics and biography, and many of the Library's more historic works are still on display in the Derby Room (named after the 15th Earl of Derby, twice Foreign Secretary in the nineteenth century) and elsewhere. The Library now stretches well beyond the core riverside suite of rooms; its expansion was driven in no small part by the increase in the size of the collections, which by 1991 had grown to around 80,000 bound volumes, plus other documents like reports and pamphlets. Staff work in several offices scattered over the Lords end of the Palace of Westminster, and parts of the collection are stored in the basements, the Committee Corridor and in outside storage facilities at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre and Westminster Archives. In 2001, a branch library was opened across the road in Millbank House, to serve the numerous members and their staff who now had offices over there due to overcrowding in the Palace.
The Pittsburgh southwest communities are essentially residential areas supported by local businesses, with ready access to the rest of the city and surrounding areas and highway systems. Over the past 30+ years the West End neighborhood (Temperanceville) has suffered the demolition of much indigenous residential architecture and the removal of most of its tenant units from the rental market, displacing a once substantial multicultural low-middle-fixed income population in favor of attempts to attract business. The West End has three designated historic landmark buildings: the German (now Jerusalem Baptist) Church, the 1899 Carnegie Branch Library (spoken for by Andrew Carnegie himself, 2nd in the Pittsburgh Carnegie system, and home of the first Library Story Hour anywhere), and the Old Stone Tavern, which may pre-date the Fort Pitt Blockhouse as the oldest building west of the Alleghenies. The "overlook" (once one of the most-visited sites in Allegheny County) has drawn fewer visitors since 2004, when a 2.5 million dollar park improvement eliminated historically available vehicle access to the bluff-top, thereby impacting all- season visiting.
Despite a concrete re-paving of the main commercial street of Old Annapolis Road and a planting of rows of new shade trees and new sidewalks & curbing in the early 1970s, by the later decade, numerous businesses, branch banks and other stores and shops closed along the commercial/residential strip, including a branch library of the Enoch Pratt Free Library at Old Annapolis and Waterview Avenue. According to an article from the Baltimore Department of Planning, by 2000, 22% of the homes in Westport were abandoned. When the long-time industrial leader in its field, the Carr Lowrey Glass Company closed and went out of business, the property was purchased by Inner Harbor West LLC for $6.82 million. The prior year, Inner Harbor West LLC had also purchased the old Baltimore Gas & Electric Company's 1920s era power plant from its holding company, Constellation Energy Group. The Carr Lowrey factory was leveled along with demolition of the substantial huge obsolete heavy-polluting coal-fired power plant and there were plans for waterfront development with a waterfront park and promenade access, though now stalled by 2019.
November 1990 saw the advent of patrons' ability to dial into the library from their computer modems to view the libraries' electronic catalog.

Currently, it is owned and managed by Phillip's Edison & Co. and is undergoing extensive redevelopment at an expected cost of more than $70 million. Redevelopment will transform the commercial center into a pedestrian-friendly community-oriented mall and will include attractive landscaping, new lighting, creation of two tree-lined boulevards, repaving of the parking lots, changing the entire facade of the outdoor shopping strip and medical offices, demolition of the current Macy's and Dick's Sporting Goods buildings, creating a new point of entry to J.C. Penney from West Ridgewood Drive, the construction of six new outbuildings, and the separation of Walmart from the rest of the mall. Recently, it was announced that a 15-member "Parma Mayor's Town Center Task Force" will be formed to develop a plan for a town center based around the Ridge Road-West Ridgewood Drive intersection that features the Shoppes at Parma, Parma Branch library, University Hospitals Parma Medical Center and City Hall. It will be made up of representatives from various organizations including the Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma Area Chamber of Commerce, Parma schools and the Cleveland Metroparks' West Creek Reservation.
