I shot this on a tripod using mirror lockup, a polarizing filter, and a 2Sec. selftimer. I processed the photo in Photoshop CS4 and did a little straightening and colour adjustment.

The Harold Washington Library, located in Chicago, is a striking example of postmodernism. The library was completed in 1991, and the LEGO version uses 407 pieces.
Kiama Library was operating in creative mode on Monday 20th January 2014, amongst creepers, slimes, zombies, spiders and skeletons!
Young people aged 8 to 18 years were invited to join the fun at a long awaited Minecraft gaming event.
Kiama Library had upgraded their public computers and there was no better way to showcase improved hardware than a Minecraft Gaming Night.
Pizza and snacks were served on the night. You had to have your own official Minecraft account to play. Our PlayStation 3’s were also set-up on the night if you wanted to have a quick race of Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed.
My Cozy Library. It's nice to relaxed in a well lite room.

Our daily Challenge 18-24 Sept: Library
One of my bookshelves.
I have different shelves in the house for different interests, so my nature library is mainly elsewhere.
These shelves are for bigger books mainly!
My family have always been a bit OCD about them.
My granddaughter age 4.11 wanted a dress like Anna in the movie Frozen to wear to preschool. This is my interpretation of that dress. This an oliver & s library dress, in a size 4 with a navy cotton velveteen bodice, linen skirt, voile sleeves, gold wave stitch piping and iron on flowers.
Some things were more fun before computers. Kindergartners checking out library books was one of those things.
Temescal Branch, Oakland Public Library.
Construction, c. 1918.
Obviously, the recessed lights are a later addition.
The Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building (1897) was restored for its 100th birthday and the gilt work now gleams brightly in this lovely corridor. Explore #427.
I didn't feel like switching out my lens, so I'll get a better shot of this later, but I arranged my books by color a little while back. Believe it or not, things are easier for me to find this way. I can recall what a book looks like faster than I can remember the author usually.
Paid a return visit to the elegantly beautiful Playfair Library in the Old College during this year's Doors Open Day.
These are my work bookshelves (or 6 out of 12). In their lived in state..
What will I do with these books when I retire (soon)? no room at home probably can't afford a studio.
update: the books have either been given to Houseman's bargain basement, or moved to my tiny office at home. i'm retiring next tuesday! For some reason this has become my most viewed photo...
Little Free Library is a nonprofit community movement in the United States and worldwide that offers free books housed in small containers to members of the local community. It was founded in Hudson, Wisconsin. The idea was conceived by Todd Bol as a tribute to his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. He mounted a wooden container designed to look like a school house on a post on his lawn. Bol shared his idea with his partner Rick Brooks who found many efficient ways to spread the word, and the idea spread rapidly. Library owners can create their own library box, usually about the size of a doll house, or purchase one from the website. Libraries may be registered and assigned a number at the organization's website. Libraries can be found through their GPS coordinates. Owners receive a sign that reads "Little Free Library". They often have the phrase, "Take a Book. Leave a Book.
In Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, the village is requiring a church to take down their Little Free Library, worrying about inappropriate material being placed and saying that there was no point in a Little Free Library due to the public library. Whitefish Bay is, in addition, denying permission to any family that asks to have a Little Free Library placed in their front yard.
Libraries have been donated to rural areas that have no libraries of their own, or that have been ravaged by disasters. As of 7 March 2012 34 States and 17 countries have been involved. There are currently over 200 Little Free Libraries in the world.
Each Library is uniquely built incorporating materials from the community it is located in. (WIKIPEDIA)
I believe this is the first one on Holland.
