North Hampton, New Hampshire
Listed 2/5/2014
Reference Number: 13001149
The North Hampton Library is eligible for the National Register under Criterion A as the first purpose-built library building in the town of North Hampton. The Library represents the nineteenth century trend of establishing free public libraries. The Library came into being in 1892 and was first housed in Town Hall. Following the examples of other towns in New Hampshire and across the nation, construction of a dedicated Library building occurred in 1907. The building continued to serve as the town library until a new library was built in1973. The library is also eligible for the National Register under Criterion C as an excellent example of the Tudor Revival style. The property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a Tudor Revival building of that era. It was designed by Boston architect J. Lawrence Berry and built by wellknown local craftsmen. Its 1955 addition was thoughtfully planned and constructed by local builders. The building remains at its original location and continues its active use as a municipal facility.

VISUAL LIBRARIES - Leave your Mark.
A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
You can ‘Leave Your Mark’ in whatever way you want, ranging from drawing, writing, sewing, adding photographs, markings, printing and sticking. How you make your marks is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have fun with the different themes. Just borrow it on your library card with other books and materials. If you are not already a member, just ask the staff to help you.
45 Visual Library Books have been placed in Portsmouth Central Library and each has its own theme ranging from; Portsmouth, My City, When I Open My Eyes, Whilst I Was Waiting, Love, What’s in My Pocket and Memories. The intention is for you to feel free to explore the Visual Library Books and choose a theme that you like.
In Association with: Rhodia, Seawhite, Portsmouth City Council, University of Portsmouth, COPIC Pens

I'm in love with this library on so many levels. First is the building itself, which was built in 1912 and is a perfect example of the arts and crafts period. Second, it was a gift from Andrew Carnegie, who lived and worked in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, and gave so many libraries to the country. Third, the interior is graced with warm old wood from the same period. Fourth, it's full of books! Beyond that are free wifi, excellent places to set up your laptop, a comfy fireplace grouping, friendly, helpful people, a kiddie splash area (outside, of course), and many more amenities. Just a wonderfully pleasant and inviting place to be.

Colin St John Wilson's 1979 Design for the British Library in London shines in late October sunshine. The British Library was formally opened by HM The Queen in June 1998. Since then it has become firmly established as a major addition to London's library, intellectual and cultural scene.
I had only seconds for this shot. I was in the grounds of the British Library, about to go home. I looked up and saw the library and the St Pancras Railway Station building glowing as the clouds parted and let the sun through. I took three photographs and bang - the light was gone again.
This shot is from my collection taken at the Vivid Festival in Sydney. www.vivid.com.au A great event that began last year and has been taken to another level this year!
The State Library of NSW has never looked so spectacular! But seriously check out the inside of this building one day... it too is SPECTACULAR!
For a BIGGER impact make sure you view LARGE on black!... it's well worth it!

This is the Hesburgh Library at Notre Dame. The Word of Life mural is undergoing maintenance this year. This was my first use of the Super Topcon 65mm lens on 4/5. I built an adapter lens board to hold the Horseman VH lens boards on the Speed Graphic. This lens was intended for the Horseman VH series cameras, however, its image circle will almost fill 4x5 (vignietting not shown here may have been from my yellow filter.) This is a late in the day photo. The lighting was not great, however, I wanted to test the new adapter.
Photographed on Kodak Tri-X 320 4x5 using a Graflex Speed Graphic. This was a test for a lens board adapter to adapt my Horseman VH-R lenses to the Speed Graphic Board. Here I used a Horseman Topcor 65mm lens at f/32.
