Mrs. Claus came to read Christmas stories to kids at the Bristol Library on Tuesday, December 22, 2014. The kids enjoyed the stories and the awesome display of cookies from Friends of the Library.
The Treasures and Treats sale that went on from December 1-20 for Treasures donated by library supporters and conducted by Friends of the Library, and the Treats sale that included candy and cookies of all kinds when on from December 15-20 was a very successful fundraiser for the library’s programs. It raised over $1,000. The Library staff wants to thank all those who donated items or treats and also those who purchased both offerings. Those few items that didn’t sell will be back next year along with lots of other wonderful bargains. As one shopper said “This is the best sale in Town!”
If you’d like to become a member of Friends of the Library - they’d love to have you join them - just ask at the desk for more information.The entire library staff and Friends wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The Library is closed Dec. 24,and 25 and Jan.1. They will close at 3pm on Dec. 31.
Our first day in Casablanca, we visited the tallest Mosque in Morocco. The Moroccan art & architecture is a study in symmetry.
As one can imagine, I have tons and tons of photos to sift through. The bad news is, I dropped my D90 in Santorini, Greece -- on concrete. I could only take photos manually, and even then had trouble with focus and exposure.
The Library of Celsus is Ephesus's best known landmark, owing to the remarkable preservation of it's facade which, having collapsed at some point in the Middle Ages was meticulously pieced back together and re-erected in the late1970s (with a concealed stell frame to protect against further earthquake damage).
Ephesus is justly famed as one of the finest ancient Roman sites anywhere. The ruins of the city are extensive with many impressive monuments to amaze the visitor (that have often been partially reassembled to give an indication of their former glory and context).
Unfortunately the fame and popularity of the site means that, unlike most of the classical sites we visited elsewhere, it is constantly crowded with tourists. However the city has always attracted visitors, and among those who spent time here centuries ago were St Paul and St John (and possibly Mary herself if one believes in the authenticity of her nearby residence).
This library is run by Leeds libraries.

In 1900 when Miss Mary Eliza Scranton offered the Madison Library Association the use of a new, completely furnished, library building which she had built on the corner of Wall Street adjoining her family’s old home. The offer was accepted, books moved in, and in 1901 the Association dissolved and the E.C. Scranton Memorial Library was incorporated.
The original library building was designed by Henry Bacon, an eminent New York architect who later designed the Lincoln Memorial. A New York firm of “contracting designers” was in charge of the architecture, construction, decorations and furnishings, the total cost of which was about $30,000.
The library was added to in 1989 and again in 2020 (along Wall St.)

Just about to pop in for a nose, as I'd never been inside before. The library, accesed via the entrance beneath the brown sign, has had a lengthy revamp, costing approx £55M, I gather. Last time I was in the vicinity, at least 18 months ago, it was all hidden from view by hoardings.
The contrast of old and new is very well done. What's wonderful, is that you can climb all the stairs [lifts available too] to the roof for a free view!

There is also a herb garden on the 4th floor. Hopefully this set of photos gives you a taste of the building and the wonderful veiws of the surrounding buildings.
