Newburyport Public Library -- Reading Room

Yet another room of the Newburyport Public Library!  This is the gorgeous and very comfy Reading Room.



These are the two seating areas, as well as the new books (far end of second picture), the large print (the collection parallel to the fireplaces), and the magazines and newspapers.

The room has two fireplaces!  Two!

A word about this room.  Each morning when the library doors are unlocked, there is a group of older gentlemen who race to the reading room for the papers.  It is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!  I was told (though didn't see it myself) that one time there were almost fisticuffs over a paper.
