I asked him what theme he wanted for August, and he said, "Trains!" I tell you, there is no shortage of children's books about trains. I had to stop looking after picking out six.

This year is the ninetieth anniversary of the opening of the Alexander Turnbull Library. Here is the original Library building on Bowen Street, glimpsed from an unusual view, through demolition rubble at the bottom end of Lambton Quay.
The house had been built in 1916 for the Wellington businessman and collector, Alexander Horsburgh Turnbull. He died soon after, leaving his remarkable collection of books, manuscripts, artworks and other documentary treasures to the nation.
The house is still there, a protected heritage building, and the occasional tourist still wanders in, wondering where the books are. But the Turnbull Library has long outgrown its original home and is now part of the National Library on Molesworth Street. At the moment the Molesworth Street building is being refurbished and the Turnbull is operating from temporary premises on Thorndon Quay and from the Archives New Zealand building on Mulgrave Street. The Molesworth Street building will reopen, better than ever, in early 2012.
The demolition was to make room for a realigned Bowen Street, so that the grand new World War I Centotaph could be built where the Bowen Street intersection used to be.

El Dorado's first library was built in 1912 from locally quarried hand-cut, native white limestone. Topped with the Spanish tiled roof, the library was funded in part by Andrew Carnegie. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is now privately owned with no public access, but it remains as a historic piece of distinguished architecture located across the street from the equally distinquished Court House built in 1909.
A new library was built in 1959 to accommodate the growth of public use of the library facilities. The Bradford Memorial Library was built with a donation by Mrs. Ruth Bradford as a memorial to her husband, Robert H. Bradford. The new library is located at 611 S. Washington.
The physical science and engineering library at McGill University. I think Earnest Rutherford used to work in the basement a hundred-ish years ago. I spent a lot of time here during my undergrad.
