This is the external facade of the Perth City Library including the extensive remediation building works. But it is good the library is still operating, with a dedicated children's floor that is accessible only to parents and their kids. I quite often pop into a library when travelling, just to see what is different and interesting.

I lost count of the years I last stepped into a library.
This library is pretty cool with the modern architectural design.

I have lived in Washington DC almost twenty years and have visited most of the museums, buildings and attractions at one time or another. To me, the most impressive is the Thomas Jefferson Building, the oldest and most recognizable Library of Congress building.
I have visited the LOC a few times but never attempted to get photos until my last visit. The scale is simply overwhelming. My lack of experience for indoor, architectural photography did not do justice to the grandeur of the place, but hopefully this short series will be of some interest. To me it's a must-see for any visit to DC.

The Cumberland Library, in Rhode Island, was a Trappist monastery before it was a library. Originally called Monastery of Our Lady of the Valley, this Gothic structure housed 140 monks until being ravished by a fire in the 1950s.
Afterward, the monks relocated to a new monastery and the remaining buildings were repurposed into the Cumberland Public Library.
Since then, rumors of hauntings in the older parts of the building began to spread. Sightings of ghostly monks, unexplained sounds and the like have been reported by employees and patrons.
A short walk through the forest surrounding the monastery turned library will lead you to Nine Men's Misery--a haunted mass grave of nine colonial soldiers that were tortured to death three hundred years ago.
