This gives you a limited view of the stacks where the books for adults can be found. On the right, above the shelves, you see some photos. That wall often displays the works of local artists or photographers. This month it features historical R.J. Arnolds portraits from 19th century glass plate negatives. The story of how these became this display is told on the wall beside them.
As I took this photo I stood on a level slightly above this section. There are stairs leading down to it. You will see computers and the reference desk directly below me. Most of the fiction for adults is in this section near the reference desk and on the shelves on the surrounding walls.
The cases you see at the back by the windows are the nonfiction shelves.
