The Pember Library is one of the most evocative and atmospheric. Granville is a poor town, and the library is struggling as most libraries are. But it’s beautiful old stacks and stuffed deer heads on the walls evoke a time when it was powerhouse city, and it still is filled with beautiful old factories and houses. Walking through these stacks, you can just feel the pull of libraries, the love of books and ideas. You can heard the shoes clicking on the wood floor and smell the wood, still.
