Side. This is the most beautiful Little Free Library I have seen so far in my quest. It's 3 1/2 miles up Road #409, between Mendocino & Fort Bragg. The road turns to dirt within view here. What I was positioning myself to take its pictures fast cars went by throwng dirt into the air. I shoved my camera under my shirt !
2/90 Arc Signage is the perfect solution for changing environments. Sign sizes are designed to acccomdate standards paper sizes so it's easy for customers to print new paper inserts when information changes. This library install also uses the header insert as a way to differentiate sections of the library based on the color of the header.
Plymouth City Council decided to close five of its smaller libraries in September 2017.
None of these libraries, apart from Eggbuckland, cost a lot to run. The fact that use was comparatively low was far more to do with a chronic lack of investment in marketing for a couple of decades than any inherent problem.
Tothill Library is being replaced on a temporary basis by a "pop-up" library IN THE SAME BUILDING.
The elderly people of Laira now have to make the journey into the city centre for their books, or walk up an impossibly steep hill to Efford.
Ernesettle, one of Plymouth post-war estates with some social problems, is having its sole cultural institution removed.
And Stoke Library, the cosiest and friendliest library in the city, with many active users and groups is being replaced with "pop-up" on one day a week.
Eggbuckland - never a success since it was opened by Devon County Council - is the only library with any justification for closure.
One of my favourite places in the world: the library. Stamford Library played a very important role in my life - it's where I discovered European Literature, which totally opened my eyes to the possibilities out there.
scanning the YCAM library. this is my first attempt at 3d scanning a very large space, and i haven't correctly accounted for the extrinsics yet -- i just guessed approximately.
i tried accounting for the distortion coefficients, but somehow that introduced more distortion, so i have to fix that too.
this is all part of my research at the YCAM interlab: github.com/YCAMInterlab/ProCamToolkit
Temple's Main Campus on North Broad St. Temple is my alma matter, but I spent most of my time on the Ambler Campus and just a little on Main.

Books Eat, the unbelievable library
First stop at the school
Welcoming a brand new day with the sweet smell of books
Finish all of the books
And start a brilliant life.
The extension was designed by _space and PH Partnership. It was built by Laing O'Rourke at a cost of £11m.
Water balloon fight! The Tween and Young Adult programs this Wednesday were all about water balloons. Sti came up with several different games to test the kids' skill and of course...get them wet!
The Horn Library project consists of three distinct, but integrated pillars for study, academic support, and social interaction and collaboration. The project is envisioned to provide an improved and expanded state-of-the-art study space for students, a centralized academic support center designed around student needs, and additional classroom and faculty office space. The project also includes a new and expanded Cutler Center in a prominent location that highlights the study of finance and investment for current and prospective students, and an update of the building systems, including mechanical systems to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Headquarters of Edwin Bailey (& Sons). E. Bailey had arrived from England as a child, spent a year aboard a ship in the Asia trade, returned possibly already with carpentry skills, opened a shop (on Lake St., where the Carnegie Library was later built), then gradually built up his business, gradually forging a local lumber empire, replete with specialized buildings, such as the Planing Mill (above right). Note these buildings proximity to the rail line (to NYC), undoubtedly aiding in business transactions, bith large and small.

Once upon a time (aka in 8th grade), I wrote an essay about this statue and courtyard.
A scathing review from a fellow student in my class at that time who had a huge ego: "Stupid - statues don't dance."
This is Arbroath Library at around the turn of the century (19th to 20th) and the only reason I can think of to bring out a crowd like that would be relating to Queen Victoria. Whatever is going on, it is at the left side of the picture, and it has brought out the top hats and formal wear at the left, and informal wear at the left. Straw hats were in vogue. Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee was in 1897, if that helps!
