This is the second floor of the BEAUTIFUL Multnomah County Library. In Portland Oregon.
It dates its existence from 1864, a time when Portland was a frontier town with frame buildings, muddy streets and few sidewalks. A small group of Portland citizens met to establish a subscription library and reading room, organizing under the name "Library Association of Portland."
And this is what was finally established, an incredibly fantastic piece of architecture. I almost break into song everytime I walk in but they SHUSH me.
SHHHH! SHHHHHHHHHH! I get sick of it.
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.

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!
Finally got to explore the gorgeous Halifax Library today. The best building in Halifax no question! It's taken me for ever and a day to visit it, but it didn't disappoint, more to come from here.
