Oswego Public Library

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

While we were walking we found something that looked like a miniature castle. As we investigated, we found it was a library. Wow! I didn't even know that this library was quite important. It's the oldest library in continuous use in the original building in the United States. It is designated as a historical landmark. Interestingly enough, the great fire of 1853 that spurred the founder Gerrit Smith to build that library in the classic Roman building. His moto was: Free for all! Anyone was welcome to come and borrow books at this library. I was able to enter it and everything was well organized. There were lots of books and magazines and computers. There are some beautiful paintings as well. There was a large window with a view of the city. Beautiful! It is so attractive as well as historic. It's a must see! Wow!
