The check-out desk at the Lexington's Public Library's main branch on West Second Street, Feb. 6, 1982. The library moved to its current Central Library location at 140 East Main Street in April, 1989. The new $9.4 million branch was 110,400 square feet of space, compared with the old library's 18,000 square feet. The old location, which was built with a 1902 grant from millionaire-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, is now the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning. Photo by Ron Garrison | staff
