There are about 80 mobile libraries, in some form, operating around Australia in 2024. Shown above: Snowy-Monaro Library operating from Cooma (Middle) and the Swan Hill (Right).
Stanford University campus.
One of the two entrances to Green library. This is the "Bing Wing," which is usually used to run exhibits. The current exhibit shows some of the documents of the founding fathers, including a couple of (early) versions of John Hancock's signature.
Got a little sloppy with this photo, too - I was concentrating so much on the bench and the roof tops that I missed seeing the branch right in front of me was obstructing too much of the building. After uploading to flickr, I was thinking of deleting it, but in the end, decided to leave it in as part of the set, and as a reminder to myself to replace it with a better shot one of these days.

For information about using this Leica lens with Nikon cameras, please see this link. I have also created a new set called Leica 19mm Elmarit-R, to which I will keep adding new photos taken with this lens that I upload to flickr.

The opening of Rochdale's new Library was celebrated by all sorts of interesting people. But here are decorative art works in the children's and story-telling area.
Some of the uglier buildings will be hidden when the trees are leaved.
As a reward for reading during the Summer, the library has a special event for the kids at the city pool with swimming and hot dogs!

HI-TECH SYSTEM SET TO CUT LIBRARY QUEUES
With the installation of a new computerised issue system, long queues are destined to become a thing of the past at Stroud Library. Out have gone the old cardboard tickets and instead library users are being issued with personalised plastic cards for use when they take out or return books.
Now, instead of searching through racks of tickets,librarians are able to issue books and receive returned books simply by running a lightpen over the card and then over a special label inside the book.
It had been awhile since I had gotten pictures of the Clinton Library in downtown Little Rock, so I decided to check in to see how things were going there. I made one visit on a Saturday night, but it looked like there was some sort of fancy shindig going on there that I was not invited to (a wedding reception, maybe?). There was a queue of folks in fancy clothes stretched out the door, right where I would be wanting to set up the camera. So I held off for a few days.
I finally made it back over on a night when the library was empty and quiet. It's hard to believe that it's been six years since the library opened. But it's hard to remember what this area looked like before the Clinton Library was built. Located just down the road from the thriving River Market district, this area was a perfect example of urban blight. The grounds of the library were home to a few old industrial buildings, which weren't something you would show off to out-of-state tourists. A homeless camp used to sit by the Rock Island Bridge, and its residents freely roamed the abandoned bridge.
But now the library sits on a vast plot of parkland, and the buildings themselves look neat when lit up at night. I took the camera out there on a warm night, and set up by one of the two fountains that flank the entrance. For some reason, about half the spotlights on the front of the building were turned off. So the glass on the front of the main building just reflected the cool blues of dusk.
Anythink Libraries wanted to remodel their Washington Branch. In this case they were looking for a 3-5 year solution, knowing that there was the possibility of relocating this branch library in the near future. The budget was modest for construction. We were encouraged to reuse what we could and new items were purchase with the intent of moving with the library.
By doing the following we were able to open up the floor plan, exposing the whole library to natural light and outside views.
•Split up the functions of the one circulation desk into two smaller staff pods.
•Relocate the community room to the first floor
•Relocate the staff area to the first floor
•Removing all interior walls in the library, exposing exterior windows
•Weeding the collection allowed for lower stack heights
•Using the elevator lobby for the self check units
•Purchasing new multi-use furniture scaled to the size of a smaller library.
New carpet and paint added to the package. Anythink brought in their branding to make this library feel and function as their new libraries.
Group3 Planners created the layout of the library, interior design, construction documents, and selected the furniture.

"Completed in 1995, the 1560sqm Eltham Library is located in a community that prides itself on its artistic heritage and commitment to environmental issues. Pioneering artist and architect Justus Jorgensen established an artistic and cultural precinct Montsalvat in Eltham in the 1930s. In the 1940s Alastair Knox won historic approval to build in earth construction. Mud brick beame a defining feature of this area. The design reflects this heritage and incorporates many other challenges including existing trees, an historic building, overlooking from the main road and proximity to the railway line. Sustainable natural materials were used including earth, radially sawn and recycled timbers and copper panelling and flashing. The library is much enjoyed by its users and is a focal point for community activities."
