- Description:
- The article focuses on the New Hampshire State Library, housed in an impressive building at the corner of Park and North State Streets, across from both the New Hampshire State House and the New Hampshire Historical Society. It mentions that the need for a library in the state house appears to have been an afterthought, and that law established basic policies for the library and required the legislature to appoint a librarian. It also mentions shelving, alcoves, and galleries that Gridley J. F. Bryant considered in the design of the state library.
