Robbins Library / Arlington Library, Arlington, Massachusetts -- History and Genealogy Room

Side view of the Library entrance.
The History and Genealogy collection was on the 4th floor. It is kept locked, so a librarian had to take me up there, I also needed permission from the director to take photos, only stipulation was that I don't take pictures of people.
The room is larger than shown in these few photos, but I wanted to show more of the old sections of the Library. You'll see why.




 
View of the library from the cemetery across the driveway. Notice the two British flags, in honor of two who died near that spot during the Revolutionary War.
