A New Library for Cambridge

I’ve been waiting and waiting for our city’s main library to open up! The construction started four years ago where the original 1889 building was restored and renovated and a new, green, glass-paneled addition was added to the side.  And now finally… the doors have opened! The interior is beautiful, light filled and spacious, but I spent a while outside sketching the exterior. I love the way it expands out like two huge arms spread across the ground. And then, of course, I think of all those books — all that thought and knowledge and human connection waiting for you inside.
