Dartford Library, Carnegie library in Dartford, England
The central library building features Portland and York stone construction materials with a prominent cupola dome extending across multiple floors.
The library opened in January 1916, initially serving soldiers recovering from injuries during World War I at nearby military hospitals.
The Peter Blake Gallery within the library presents rotating exhibitions of artworks created by regional artists throughout the year.
The facility provides computer access, printing services, scanning capabilities, and specialized areas for children's activities from Monday through Saturday.
During World War II, the library's dome served as an observation post where personnel monitored potential air threats.
