In St. Louis there’s a library branch in a strip mall like this. Most of the mall is vacant right now, but the library has been there for a while. I think it’s the marketplace branch of SLPL.
I forget the exact sequence of events, but there was an abandoned store in my hometown in the early 1990s (like an old 5 and 10 or grocery). Our library used the space as a temporary branch while the main library was renovated and expanded, and then I think Dollar General took over the space afterwards. But it also could have been Dollar General first, then later the library. The library was there less than a year, but it was still pretty cool!
