The starfield library is aesthetically designed and spans from the 4th floor to the 7th floor in the middle of the recently opened shopping mall. You can read books, magazines, and use the tablets set up on the 4th floor. Books are displayed on the walls from the 4th to the 7th floor but are out of reach.
Panorama mode on the iPhone required, as normal photo just couldn’t get wide enough to include the tram and the Library building together
A place of zen, peace and learning. However, my personal interest revolved around the fine symmetry of this place, along with the surrounding walkways. Very photogenic.

The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus[ (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila (consul, 110 AD). The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a mausoleum for Celsus, who is buried in a crypt beneath the library.
The interior of the library was destroyed, supposedly by an earthquake in 262 A.D., and the façade by another earthquake in the tenth or eleventh century A.D. It lay in ruins for centuries, until the façade was re-erected (anastylosis) by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978. (From Wikipedia)
Photo of the stacks of the main branch of the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, through what used to be exterior windows. (The library was opened in 1898.)
This photo was taken from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's dinosaur exhibit room.
Note that the ceilings here (and the floors of each story above them) are made from very thick greenish frosted glass which allows the light from each floor above to help light the floor below. The two lower-right windows show some of the large double-sided bookcases.
The windows have window seats where two patrons seem to be hanging out, away from the action in the main part of the library.
The other side. Actually I was lost and was going round and round around the library!

And on National Library Day - a celebration too of the home libraries. This is my library (or second home as I like to call it) in Whitehaven, Cumbria UK. Candles and paraffin lamps offer mood lighting, there are automatons, plants, a train set (centre shelf) and can you spot the secret compartment?!
The 11-story glass and steel building in downtown Seattle, Washington was opened to the public on Sunday, May 23, 2004. The building was designed by the dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and has a unique, striking appearance, consisting of several discrete "floating platforms" seemingly wrapped in a large steel net around glass skin.
Construction of Grinnell Library was completed in 1887. Grinnell hired a New York City architect, and supplied a list of architectural features he wanted to include. The tower is modeled after one he saw in St. Battenberg, Switzerland, and the way the second story overhangs the first recalls buildings he liked in Chester, England. More info at:
Picton Reading Room
The doorway with the clock above it takes you into the Hornby Library ( named after Hugh Frederick Hornby ) which was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
Things are moving along, books are coming in, furniture has been chosen, & Kati is deciding what color the walls should be. So much to do for one little shelf!

Interior of the library in The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens :)
The library building was designed in 1920 by the southern California architect Myron Hunt in the Mediterranean Revival style. The library contains a substantial collection of rare books and manuscripts, concentrated in the fields of British and American history, literature, art, and the history of science. Highlights include one of copies of the Gutenberg Bible (from 1455), and letters and manuscripts by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln. It also holds the manuscript of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Isaac Newton's personal copy of his "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" with annotations in Newton's own hand. The library's main exhibition hall showcases some of the most outstanding rare books and manuscripts in the collection, while the West Hall of the library hosts rotating exhibitions.

Wnętrze Biblioteki Huntingtona, znajdującej się ne terenie ogrodów botanicznych :)
Budynek biblioteki został zaprojektowany w 1920 roku przez architekta z południowej Kalifornii Myrona Hunta w stylu śródziemnomorskiego odrodzenia. Biblioteka zawiera pokaźny zbiór rzadkich książek i rękopisów, głównie z dziedziny brytyjskiej i amerykańskiej historii, literatury, sztuki i historii nauki. Najważniejsze pozycje w zbiorach to jedna z kopii Biblii Gutenberga (z 1455 r.) oraz listy i rękopisy George'a Washingtona, Thomasa Jeffersona, Benjamina Franklina i Abrahama Lincolna. Biblioteka posiada też rękopis autobiografii Benjamina Franklina i osobistą kopię "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica "Isaaca Newtona z własnoręcznymi adnotacjami autora. W głównej sali wystawowej biblioteki prezentowane są jedne z najwybitniejszych rzadkich książek i rękopisów w kolekcji, podczas gdy w zachodniej sali biblioteki odbywają się wystawy rotacyjne.
