 The Princeton Public 도서관, 라이브러리
The Princeton Public Library
Princeton Public Library of Princeton, New Jersey
While the link is a representation of the traditional library, the Princeton Public 도서관, 라이브러리 is an image of a modern library. Even as one walks 의해 the 도서관, 라이브러리 it is instantly clear that it is 'modernity' reincarnate. Situated in the 심장 of Princeton, NJ and is adjacent to the majestic Princeton 대학 campus, the architecture departs from traditional red brick and grey stone walls for glass and steel, and evokes Frank Lloyd Wright with its geometric outdoors.

As the saying goes, "You can't judge a book 의해 its cover" so as I walked in I was prepared to disappointed 의해 a ratty indoors. Luckily, I wasn't! The 도서관, 라이브러리 reminded me of a Borders 또는 Barnes & Nobles (which is a compliment in this situation) with its setup; three colorful floors completely filled with books, couches and tables, and one hundred computers for patrons to use. The bottom floor is dedicated for Fiction & Audiobooks; the 초 floor for Non-Fiction & DVDs; the third floor for Children & Teens. All areas are spacious and well-lit, and seemed like a generally pleasant place to be.

Besides the traditional 도서관, 라이브러리 book areas, the building is also host to a cafe, community center, and 도서관, 라이브러리 store (!).

Library Store:
From the website: "The 도서관, 라이브러리 Store offers a wide selection of gifts and useful items for the reader and writer – everything from pens to 책상, 데스크 accessories, note cards to pillows, card games and puzzles to jewelry and picture frames. We carry literary-themed household items such as coasters and 사진 albums. A wide selection of 도서관, 라이브러리 logo items are also available." The 도서관, 라이브러리 Store is staffed 의해 volunteers. If interested in volunteering, contact the store manager, Chris Canfield, at 609-924-9529, extension 283.
