Public Library

The twin marble statues of Hope and Reason greet anyone ascending the magnificent stone stairway leading into The Century Station Public Library, the place with the largest collection of printed knowledge in the city. Thanks to a fresh infusion of capital from some very rich philanthropists, the library has been able to transfer all of its copyright-free volumes to a digital format. This impressive body of work, over 500,000 volumes, is stored digitally and hosted on the library’s CityNet and Internet sites. The library’s digitization effort has been lauded by scholars worldwide as a “great democratization of knowledge.”
