Today, I learned that the library also offers original Artist's Trading Cards for $5.00 each in what looks like an old cigarette vending machine. I just had to take a photo of that!

Scavenger 2012 - #13 A Library
Doylestown Central Library has an interesting story. The library used to be located across from the Courthouse on Main Street. It had old wooden floors that creaked when walked on. It had no air conditioning so in the summer it was sweltering, and in the winter freezing. About ten years ago, the old Bucks County prison was scheduled to be torn down. It was then decided to not only relocate the library to that site but also build the James Michener Art Museum on the same tract. Today, we enjoy not only the library but many cultural events held at Michener.

I like the idea of having a library and museum together....our library is also in a historic building.
The art-o-mat is too cool to believe! I meant to take a picture of the library here at Trinity (it has the Book of Kels), but we never got around to it.

amazed at art in a vending machine - looks like a fabulous library
Hi Lizzie - thanks for stopping by my blog! I know I've "seen" you in Shimelle or BPC classes before & on other blogs we both read!
I am so impressed with your progress on the Scavenger Hunt & I really like how you are creating a layout for each one. I'm thinking of doing a mini-album with my photos but haven't decided for sure yet.
Great post,I'm joining in with the hunt this year - wish me luck!
Hey Lizzie! I was really thrown when I saw Doylestown Library on Rinda's blog. I thought you were moving south???
Great library photos, Lizzie, and that layout is fantastic!
