Public Library: An American Commons
I'm photographer Robert Dawson. Join me and my son, Walker, as we drive across the country this summer photographing public libraries for my next book, due out in 2013. Our trip will complete 17 years of field work documenting this precious American resource.
For more on my work and my upcoming American Public Library photography book, please visit robertdawson.com.-

Library Road Trip 
Great music, really fits the visuals (the slowed down street drive, especially)…
Nick was such a great help, he is going to go far with his amazing skills
I’m glad you found the Eureka Springs library. A great old Carnegie and such a curious little town. I’m sorry I missed you guys here in Little Rock.
