This Carnegie library in Walkerton was (re)built in 1914 after the original library building was destroyed by fire. In 1877, when it first opened, there were 138 books on the shelves. Today, there are over 20,000 books in circulation for its 4,000 Bruce County users.

is that clock accurate?
yes. on both sides!
(this was not taken today. it was actually taken about two weeks ago)
Great B&W shot that really captures the feel of an earlier time. I love it — but of course, I love libraries! Hope you have a great week! Thanks for sharing!

Nice building love the architecture. And I like that clock.
