Robert Dawson (1) (1950–)

A photographic essay showing libraries across the USA.This shows pictures and a blurb from one room libraries in the middle of nowhere to the reading room at New York City Public Library. Also features reflections from authors and celebrities of their early experiences of going to libraries. I particularly loved that The Kansas City Public LIbrary's Central branch was featured. It is one of the most intriguing and beautiful library spaces in the US. (I'm biased though as a former employee).

As I am in library & information school for my masters degree, I thoroughly enjoyed this photographic essay of libraries across the united states! The short essay's were a joy as well. If you love libraries you will probably like this tome.

Beautiful book, about our greatest public institution. Makes me want to travel around the country and see some of these libraries for myself.
