You must also add the Elliot Bay Book Co. to your itinerary. It houses hundreds of thousands of books beneath a vaulted ceiling of exposed wood, adding a homey feel to the venue.
IT’S ALSO THE SITE OF MANY FICTIONAL STORIES LIKE “THE GREAT GATSBY” AND “THE BELL JAR.”
You can also experience the city’s numerous literature events like Lit Crawl Boston or the Boston Book Festival if you’re in town at the right time.
The Lebanon Public Library is one of the 1,679 libraries Andrew Carnegie funded between 1886 and 1919.
It hosts the Portland Book Festival every fall and Powell’s City of Books, which consumes an entire block of the downtown area.
Writers flock to the city from around the nation to attend events at the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop or become students there.
The Berkeley Public Library operates two of them and uses the revenue to fund community book programs.
