The check-out desk is to the right and has a green curtain installed to give privacy at counter level. A lamp stands on the counter. To the left is a free-standing display case. Several framed paintings and busts are in the library. Only three chairs are on view in the large room and no tables are visible for use of the library's patrons. Sixteen adults are in the scene.
