I never tire of visiting the Central Library in Birmingham. There are so many floors and so many angles to photograph, not to mention all those fabulous books, archives, maps and manuscripts.
John Rylands library is an imposing building with elaborate ceilings and imposing statues within. I had the opportuinity to visit it for the first time with a few mates and was struck by the beauty of the library. I will not cover the whats and the whyfor's of the building as it has been covered in intense detail by other Flickr contributors but felt I needed to post some photos as a memento of the visit. Forgive me if there are similar shots on Flickr but it is one of the most photographed buildings in Manchester.

I was fortunate to travel to the East Coast with 8th graders for 18 years. We started in Boston
and ended in Washington DC. I'm working on a book of images from our trips.
Stopped in the other day to checkout the ponds and they had put up a fence so decided I couldn't walk back to the sidewalk and then climb back up the hill so just took the fence and came on home.. Happy Fence Friday, Everybody!!
And I don't believe you live in a library
Sleeping with a book-blanket out at sea
The next time I wake up I want to be
In a rabbit hole to the sound of you
Making coffee
David Walsh's extensive personal library is housed at MONA and can be accessed through this tunnel. Like all spaces inside MONA there are wonderful tricks of light and perspective, as can be seen to some degree in this shot.
This beautiful library was built in memory of Shiba Ryōtarō, a literary hero in Osaka. It houses 20,000 of his 80,000 book collection, and the shelves are 11 metres tall!
We're currently waiting out typhoon Vongfong, which is passing by Osaka with less ferocity than first thought, but the streets are still deep in water.
Fortunately we're holed up with plenty of good food and drinks

Qatar National Library, designed by OMA, Rem Koolhaas, is located at Education City, Doha, Qatar. It was designed in 2008 - 2010 and built in 2012 - 2017.
The performers from A. A. Gymnastics visted the library and put on a demonstration for the kids with exciting leaps, flips and tumbles.
Today I finished the Brooklyn Public Library's "Browse The Branches" challenge. Collecting a sticker for my booklet at each branch visited. It's been a lot of fun visiting all the different neighborhoods. Brooklyn Public Library has 62 branches and a bookmobile.
Each of the branches had something special about it and this one - the Stone Avenue Branch in Brownsville, Brooklyn was not only the last branch I visited but also one of my favorites.
The building was one of the last Carnegie libraries built in Brooklyn and opened in September, 1914. Originally it was the Brownsville Children's Library and believed to be the first library in the world devoted to serving children. On its 100th Anniversary in 2014 the branch underwent renovations. The back wall that can be seen in the photo is a Word Wall displaying Fry Words - the 1,000 words most used in reading and writing.
The Rose Main Reading Room, New York Public Library, March 2017
Would love to return to the City to see this historic landmark once again...
The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!
