The old Los Angeles Central Library is a much beloved landmark in downtown L.A. It was designed in a fanciful Egyptian/Mediterranean Revival style by Benjamin Goodhue (1869-1924). The Rockefeller Chapel at the University of Chicago and the skyscraper State Capitol in Lincoln Nebraska are two of Goodhue's other major projects. (That's the light of wisdom that's shining at the pyramid's peak.)
Freaky Friday is the culmination of the Summer programs for the Tweens and Young Adults. They get to come to the library after hours on Friday and have pizza, games and win prizes! This year was a blast!
Now the film collection has room to grow. Look at all that shelf space. I'll try not to fill it up in the first year.

Actually there's not a lot up in that top bit (well, a fair few student services, in truth, but not as much as there is space for). The library itself is beneath all this.
I was never much fond of the design as this thing was going up, and the colours are still a bit out there, but on the whole it's grown on me with its various angles and interesting shapes, and it hosts a decent cafe and provides a much-needed bypass of wentworth building as a thoroughfare. It's a good thing, on balance. :)

The library with Massanutten peak in the distance. Image tweaked a bit with Picasa to remove the bit about the incoming storm messing with the natural light.

The local performing group POPSTAR Performers visited the library and put on a great show for us! What a great way for kids to share their creative sides!
The Geoffrey R. Weller library at the University of Northern British Columbia.
Prince George, British Columbia, Canada
The library was built in 1904. It is one of only 13 of the 32 libraries still standing. The bottom floor is the Layland Museum. The top floor is used as a community theater for Carnegie players. One of the oldest community groups in continuous existence. The upstairs still has wooden floors and old fashioned seats.
