About once a year someone posts that cool photo of the old Cincinnati library and the replies are filled with people angry that it was demolished … but here’s the thing … that old library, despite its aged photogenic charm, was utterly failing the community. It was never supposed to be a library in the first place. It was too small. It wasn’t accessible. The library that replaced it is brutalist and bland, but it’s FANTASTIC at being a library, even if no one wants to post photos of it.
