Good Morning Sprinkles. xx

Tuesdays riddle answer was - Hourglass.
*******************************
Yesterdays again in case you missed it.
What kind of coat is best to put on wet?
*********************************
Todays is:-

I'm a tall lady, but that doesn't bother me;
I'm here to fill newcomers with hope and glee.
I once was shiny, not now, however;
My luster is now gone, thanks to the weather.
With my fire and book, I stand here alone;
Here to welcome newcomers to their new home.

Who/What Am I?

All answers on my back wall please. xx
