Linda Hall Library
The Linda Hall Library is a privately endowed American library of science, engineering and technology located in Kansas City, Missouri, sitting "majestically on a urban arboretum." 〔 It is the "largest independently funded public library of science, engineering and technology in North America"〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Linda Hall Library )〕 and "among the largest science libraries in the world."〔
==Description==
Established in 1946 through the philanthropy of Linda (1859–1938) and Herbert F. Hall (1858–1941), of the Hall-Bartlett Grain Co.,〔Peterson, Paul (1982), "In Full Bloom: Linda Hall Library." ''Wilson Library Bulletin''. 57 (2): 122-132.; "Linda Hall Library Influenced Many Firms to Locate or Expand." ''Kansas Citian''. February 5, 1952: 16-17.〕 the library has achieved global recognition and stature. The library is open to the public with individual researchers, academic institutions and companies from Kansas City and around the world using the library’s extensive research-level collection. Though not affiliated with its neighbor, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, many students and faculty from UMKC and other local colleges and universities utilize the library each day.
The library's William N. Deramus III Cosmology Theater shows images of the cosmos from the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA science missions. These images are delivered via (ViewSpace ) to the library with daily updates (via the Internet) that provide the library with new content for visitors.
"The Tazza", one of the largest pieces of malachite in North America, stands as the focal point in the center of the main reading room, which features parquet wood floors, paneling and bookshelves of oak, and large windows that overlook the south lawn.
