Nice small branch. Beware that all the photos shown here but one are from the large Parkway Central Library and not the small Charles L. Durham Library Branch.

I remember on hot summer days going here just to get out and be around people in air conditioning.. Pre-Pandemic... This world sucks now, my Dad used to say it changed from the 70s, now im saying IT CHANGED SINCE THE 90's early 2000s!!! I hope libraries stand the test of time... Most of them are on PRIME real estate that the city would love to sell. Support ur local library!!
