Memphis library moved from an old and much to small location to a modern and very functional building on Poplar Ave some five years ago .
(Oh yes, I have photoshopped the photo, it was too gray and gloomy looking as a raw image, this does more justice to the actual look)
Before you get to the entrance you will discover these "book scrolls" sculpted in black granite.
They are engraved with fragments of famous texts and images from all literature imaginable.
From each of the pillars / scrolls lying down emanates a long strip, made from granite slabs, with texts and pictures.
The text is a clever mix from all genres in literature.
