Los Angeles Central Library, Los Angeles, CA
Since 1926 this library has been captivating its audience with its ancient Egypt mixed with Art Deco style. You’ll be impressed by the tiled pyramid on top holding a golden hand with a torch.
Suspended from the ceiling is the exquisite Zodiac Chandelier, with a stained glass globe serving as its core and zodiac symbols surrounding it.
Worth noting, though, it’s considered the city’s phoenix. Like the mythological creature, the Central Library emerged full of life after a devastating fire in 1986.
The focal point of the old library, also known as the Goodhue Building, is the Rotunda. The walls feature murals depicting California’s history.
We’d be lion if we said this place wasn’t spectacular…..

i d like to seeall of them did see NYC PBLIC LIBRARY
The Air Force Academy Library in Colorado is supposed to be quite impressive too. I’ve only seen the outside. Maybe it’s not considered a public library.
EACH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE NEXT!!!
When I was in high school, research was done at the library.
Going downtown was a treat.
I remember spending as much time exploring the library as I did on research each time I visited. It was breathtaking for someone from a small town with a one room, but very clean and efficient public library.
