"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."

The Malatestiana Library in Cesena is one of the oldest public libraries in Europe. It was built in the mid-1400s, funded by the Malatesta family, and given to the community rather than to the Church or kept private. This saved it from being taken over, ransacked, or destroyed in the many rivalries over the centuries between the Church, nobles, and eventually the state -it belonged to the people and was protected as such. The windows were specially designed to let the maximum of light in for reading (in the window on the right note the small round glass, this served to amplify the light as if it were many magnifying glasses -this was the afternoon of a semi-cloudy winter day).
Further along Bloor, the blinking dot illustrates the GPS location of the mobile. Pushpin indicates the library.

My first attempt at putting digital information out into the physical library. Many students go straight to the shelves when they want information. By putting a touchscreen where the books are I hope that they might discover all that is available in digital format as well. The screen shows an article on the subject that is on this shelf, the Falklands war of 1982. I have set up a netvibes page with preconfigured searches in RSS and some useful pages on the subject. By touching the screen the students can access articles and webpages directly.
There is a printer at the end of the bookshelf so they can print out anything interesting they find.
