The main floor plan of the Oakland Free Public Library building gives a clear view of how a turn-of-the-century public library was laid out for daily use. Plans like this one show where the reading rooms, circulation desk, and stacks sat in relation to the entrance, reflecting the period's belief that libraries should be open, orderly spaces where any resident could browse and read. Architectural drawings of this kind were prepared before construction and served both the builders and the city officials who financed the project. Study the room labels and corridors to see how staff could supervise the public floor from a central desk.
