Gloversville Free Library
The building is a two-story Beaux-Arts style building, designed by New York City architect Albert Randolph Ross. It consists of four parts: a domed entrance hall containing stairwells, a large central stack space, and two flanking wings that meet the central axis at a 45-degree angle.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 as the "Gloversville Free Library".
Predecessors of the current Gloversville Public Library, which was incorporated as a school district public library in 2005, include the Gloversville Free Library – an association library from 1888 to 2005 – and the Levi Parsons Library of Gloversville and Kingsborough, a subscription library from 1880 to 1888.
The Gloversville Public Library reopened on November 5, 2018, after undergoing the renovation of the historic library building
