Tour the Nesbitt Memorial Library
|
|
The library was built around one of the many majestic old live oak trees which grace the City of Columbus. |
| Just inside the front entrance, the library provides patrons with easy access to its newest books. |
 |
 |
The library's reference section is also near the front entrance. |
| Naturally, the circulation desk is also right up front . . . |
 |
 |
. . . and it looks out over the entire library. |
| Library staff is always willing to assist patrons at the front desk . . . |
 |
 |
. . . or in the reference section . . . |
| . . . or at the main card catalog console, which is also near the front entrance. |
 |
 |
The library maintains a substantial collection of current magazines and newspapers. |
| The children's section occupies about one-third of the floor space in the main reading room . . . |
 |
 |
. . . and is home to the library's doll collection. |
| The library's spacious meeting room hosts activities for children, such as this program during the summer . . . |
 |
. |
. . . and for adults, such as this appearance by the musician Eric Taylor. |
| Patrons flock to the main bank of Internet access computers, which is flanked by the library's collection of art reproductions . . . |
 |
 |
. . . or browse the stacks in the fiction section . . |
| . . . or select one of the library's large collection of videotapes or DVDs . . . |
 |
 |
. . . or get answers to their questions in the labyrinthine non-fiction section. |
| Patrons in the Texas Room work with documents
and books at the elegant table built of long leaf pine by local artist Mark
Potter . . . |
 |
 |
. . . or with the library's extensive collection of microfilm. . . |
| . . . while library staff works nearby, digitizing material for this web page. |
 |
 |
And only the brave dare interrupt the important activities of the library's director. |
| All the while, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the flowers are blooming. |  |
