Cockeysville Library

It's been a while since I last posted pictures of a library!  I've visited many, and I've taken pictures of many of them over the last few months, I've just been very slow in getting them posted!  As always, the most difficult part of getting library pictures is getting them without the faces of other people in them!

I ventured north of Baltimore recently to visit the Cockeysville Library.  This library was originally begun in 1947.  This particular branch was opened in 1982 and then renovated and expanded in 2009.  It is a gorgeous branch!   As you enter the library, Elinor (who is dressed for St. Patrick's Day) greets you at the front entrance on the Circulation Desk.

Do you see how many people are here?  This place is packed!

The area around the reference desk. Children's is to the right.

The children's section is my favorite part of this building!  It looks like a greenhouse, added across the front of the library, and running the length of the building.  It is gorgeous, light filled, and airy!

Love that mural at the end of the children's section!

Just look at all that light!  Just off to the left is a huge open play space for the kids.  (Full of kids when I was there, so no pictures.)

 

 

 

Back inside of the main library, these pictures were taken along the wall in the older child section.  Behind the yellow bookshelves is the teen (Young Adult) section of the library.

Inside of the glassed in area is the magazine area and the quiet  study room.

Straight ahead is the door and the circulation desk.
