The library was established in 1836. One of the old yet most beautiful library! There is a collection of books that they could not afford individually.

Exquisite, visually stunning! Great ambiance and a perfect place to read. And the story about Edgar Allan Poe & Sarah Helen Whitman, need I say more?

This is an amazing library built in 1838 in the heart of College Hill visited by Edgar Allan Poe. A must see.

One of the oldest libraries in the country, the Athenaeum is legitimately awe-inspiring. There are a lot of things in providence that will take you back in time, but this is one of the best to me, even if you're not into books. :)
