Title: Northeast Regional Library
Additional Title: Overhead view of three interior levels of the Northeast Regional Library, mid-1960s
Historic Street Address:
2228 Cottman Avenue
Media Type: Photographic Prints
Source: Print and Picture Collection
Notes:
The Northeast Regional Library is the first of three major regional libraries intended to provide “central library” service to the principal areas of the city. It is second only to the Parkway Central Library in size, available resources, and number of staff, thereby offering more in-house services than the local neighborhood branches.
This overhead view shows three levels inside the library.
Located near the intersection of Cottman and Bustleton Avenues, it serves the greater northeast area as a regional library, and the entire city for research.
