“Library”: Where Books Are Free

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to a local library that served our community with honor and steadfast dedication these past 58 years.  This Sunday there will be a closing ceremony.  Silver Spring‘s public library is distinctive in Montgomery County, Maryland for its Frank Lloyd Wright-esque “prairie style” design (along with Davis Library in Bethesda), the first uniquely American architectural style.  Any other branches in the country system in the Prairie Style, I wonder.

May the building continue to serve the people of Montgomery County for generations to come, as it was intended to.
