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.
I took this photo nearly 9 years ago in rural Maine. Posting it today because publicly funded libraries are important resources in a truly free society.
Libraries are a priceless resource worth our support.
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...
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 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!

Another colourful sunset over the Lake at Benalla looking towards the Library along the foreshore.
Geisel Library is on the campus of UCSD. It is named after Theodore and Audrey Geisel. Theodore Geisel is the creator of Dr. Seuss.
Last week I went on a short vacation with the family to San Diego. I got a chance to sneak out on Sunday morning and go up to UCSD to photograph. My intention was to photograph The Salk Institute and this the Geisel Library. To my misfortune the Salk Institute was closed but the Library was open for the taking.
I usually do all of my photography in black and white, but on this i decided to experiment with some color. So I am posting the color 1st and then I will post the Black and white.
Comparisons of the black and white and color as well as the Black and white and original will be posted to my Facebook page in the next few days.
The Library of Congress is America's oldest federal cultural institution and serves as the research arm of the Congress. It is also the largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings, photographs, maps and manuscripts in its collections.
The library at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Just kidding. It's the library at the University of Washington Seattle.

Visited the Central Library and this is from the front balcony. The sun was shinning. People were taking the opportunity to be in the warmth of the sun's rays.

An odd composition perhaps, but it caught my eye and had to be taken :o)

I used to go to a bookstore with that name.
The library is a great place to find books that are inspirational.
Travel, cooking , biography, mystery, etc.
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. 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 by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978.
