The magnificent monastery library was built between 1680 and 1689, also by Carlo Antonio Carlone. It is one of the great libraries of Austria and contains about 160,000 volumes, besides 1,700 manuscripts and nearly 2,000 incunabula. The most valuable book is the "Codex Millenarius", a Gospel Book written around 800 in Mondsee Abbey. Facsimiles of this codex may be found in the libraries of a number of universities throughout the world.

The tallest building West of the Mississippi, for now. They're building an observation deck that should be open early 2016. That's exciting, we have one more than zero of them in Downtown now. Things are on an upswing in this area.

Sarah's area at work had a catered recognition dinner at the James J Hill library. I was ignoring people and trying to figure out how to get up to the balcony and hang out.
What a cool little library I found.

When I visited the Library, I used my new Lens, to test it in low light.
My favorite library is closed on weekends, so I relied on a shelf of my most favorite childhood reads.
ODC: library
The Library of Trinity College Dublin serves Trinity College and the University of Dublin. It is the largest library in Ireland and, as a legal deposit or "copyright library", it has rights to receive material published in the Republic of Ireland free of charge; it is also the only Irish library to hold such rights for the United Kingdom. The Library is the permanent home to the famous Book of Kells. Two of the four volumes are on public display, one opened to a major decorated page and the other to a typical page of text. The volumes and pages shown are regularly changed.[2] Members of the University of Dublin also have access to the libraries of Tallaght Hospital and the Irish School of Ecumenics, Milltown.
This was the late Lord Montagu's sitting room where he would often relax with his family at the end of the day. In later years, he also used the room as his office. He had a large record collection which included artists as varied as Ted Heath, Jimi Hendrix and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. In the classical section, his favourite composers were Beethoven, Britten, Elgar, Mahler, Strauss and Wagner. It was the operas of the latter which he particularly enjoyed playing at full volume.
The book collection is mainly that of Henry James, Baron Montagu of Boughton, whose books spanned the 18th and 19th century, and the natural history collection of John Montagu, spanning the late Victorian era to the early 20th century. The library and its bookshelves were moved from the room below to make way for the Picture Gallery when Palace House was first opened to the public in 1952.
Beaulieu Palace House is a 13th-century house in Beaulieu, Hampshire, United Kingdom. Originally part of Beaulieu Abbey, the estate was bought in 1538 by Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It is still owned and occupied by the earl's descendants, the Barons Montagu of Beaulieu.
Although still home to the current Lord and Lady Montagu, parts of the house and gardens are open daily to the public. It is a member of the Treasure Houses of England consortium. The Palace House is open to the public as part of the visitor attraction known as "Beaulieu", which includes:
* Beaulieu Abbey
* National Motor Museum
* Beaulieu Palace House
* Secret Army Exhibition – an exhibit about the Special Operations Executive training at Beaulieu during World War II
* Gardens
* A monorail
* Rides
FAR TOO MANY BOOKS IN MY OPINION.
And there were two other carts just like that one to go with it.
It was like the entire library was on a cart, waiting for me to put it ALL away. T^T
