Lithgow Public Library
Lithgow Public Library, Public library in Augusta, Maine
The gray Norridgewock granite building features arched doorways, medallions of authors, and stained glass windows displaying historical themes and printer marks throughout its structure.
Llewellyn Lithgow, an Augusta merchant, provided $20,000 for the library's establishment, while Andrew Carnegie contributed $9,000 to support its construction in 1894.
The Reading Room maintains its 1890s design elements with original frescoes, oak pillars, and detailed woodwork that reflect the architectural style of that period.
Located at 45 Winthrop Street, the library operates Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 8 PM, Friday 9 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM to noon.
The library collection includes 67,000 books and offers a 'Library of Things' service, allowing patrons to borrow non-traditional items beyond printed materials.
