Libraries are places of learning, discovery, and refuge. Parkway Central Library offers a variety of ways to connect with others through books, technology, lectures, and workshops, all while providing quiet spaces where you can work or study on your own. The Beaux-Arts building is both a library and an architectural treasure with a stunning interior, a rare book department with more than 100,000 books and manuscripts, and notable works in the special collections including Edgar Allan Poe and Beatrix Potter. Parkway also boasts a distinguished music department, which features more than 100,000 volumes and is known as one of the largest music and dance selections in the country.

Bibliophiles go to great city libraries to be close to others who love them as they do. Others want a quiet public space where they’re not alone, but are left undisturbed to ponder the things they want to learn. Some enjoy the social hub to work their way through the high-tech distribution of knowledge as well as interact with competent staff. Parkway Central Library is also an architectural stunner as this neoclassical building on Benjamin Franklin Parkway offers computers for public use along with an array of programs. Visitors to the library talk about the facility with a kind of affection, and tourists stop here and find a nook to break up the city itinerary or take an “architectural walk” with a docent.
