Set among street trees, this stone building stands out for its round-arched entrances, a design borrowed from Romanesque architecture, which relied on thick walls and heavy, rounded openings. Public libraries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries often adopted this style to suggest permanence and civic dignity, since a town's book collection was meant to look as solid as its courthouse or bank. Notice how the arches frame the doorways and repeat along the façade, giving the library a sense of weight and welcome at street level.
