Take a look at these photos and you'll see why I stopped:

| Side of building with old doors in place (excuse my finger at top of photo) |

Jonesboro, Illinois, Library Might Be Small but It's Ready for Readers to Come In
Passing through Jonesboro, Illinois, this morning on my way to the music festival in Columbus, Ohio, I came across this tiny library and just had to take a look at it. Jonesboro, a town of about 2,000 people, has converted what looks to be an old railroad depot into the city library.
Take a look at these photos and you'll see why I stopped:
There is also an adult library that is housed in the same amount of space as the children's library, but there are no accessible windows so I couldn't grab a picture. I assume it contains a similar number of books. The collections appear small but, based on population, they may very well be the equivalent of big city libraries. Does anyone have a library book per capita measurement we can use for comparison?
