The North Street building with its distinctive copper dome surmounted a bronze statue by Thomas Clapperton, entitled Literature, often referred to as Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, opened in 1911. The architectural competition for the library's design took place in 1906 and was won by William B. Whitie. The Edwardian Baroque building is protected as a category B listed building.[2]
The library in the hamlet of Naselle is the most substantial and attractive building in town.
"Library service in Naselle started on April 21, 1986 in a stationary bookmobile near Lion's Park. The Naselle Library was originally opened as an experimental 'mini-library' to serve patrons formerly served by the bookmobile. A new library was built and opened in November 1991."
It has the hallmarks of the short-lived postmodern style, which looks better here than in its usual application as a garnish on strip malls.
About Timberland Regional Library
Timberland Regional Library (TRL) is a public library system that provides library services to the residents of five counties in Southwest Washington State: Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston Counties. Under Washington State law, TRL is an Intercounty Rural Library District and is funded by property taxes and revenue from timber sales in the 5-county area.
In the 1960's the Washington State Library Commission initiated a demonstration project to improve library services in Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston counties in response to requests from the counties' residents.
Through this cooperative effort, library services were consolidated to create a more efficient and economical regional operation, to increase the size of the library collections and to provide service for the first time in several rural communities.
Citizens voted in November 1968 to unite the five counties into one library district, the Timberland Regional Library (TRL). TRL services began in 21 libraries with Becky Morrison serving as the first Executive Director.
Since 1968, TRL has provided information, reading, and lifelong learning services at 28 libraries offering over 1 million items to more than half a million people. The library system is funded mainly by local property taxes with additional income from timber sales taxes.
Not only were community libraries added when opportunities and dollars permitted, TRL has introduced state-of-the-art electronic services in order to provide residents with the best available library service; to provide access to all, regardless of physical limitations or geographic location; and to increase the potential of success for everyone in the system’s five counties. All Timberland library programs are free and open to the public. Anyone needing special accommodations to participate in a library program may contact the library one week in advance.

After converting the old library/office into a family/game room, the new library now resides at one end of the great room, with the study just around the corner.
Library with yellow trim--a welcomed relief from common white trim. The home was built in 1930 at the edge of town on a dairy farm, and now it's centrally located in a high dollar area.

aka the Abraham Glen House, a rare "Dutch Colonial heavy timber frame house" built in the 1730s and in use as a library since 1930. In 2004 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Scotia, New York.
The beautiful Newberry Library building was designed by architect Henry Ives Cobb, and opened in 1893. It is located at 60 West Walton Street in Chicago.
"Le Château de Chantilly abrite l’une des plus riches bibliothèques de France. Les trésors accumulés par les différents propriétaires de Chantilly ont été complétés et magnifiés avec passion par le duc d’Aumale, qui fut le plus grand bibliophile de son temps. Le Cabinet des livres aménagé par l’architecte Honoré Daumet à la fin du XIXe siècle forme un écrin pour les manuscrits des princes de Condé et les trésors du duc d’Aumale. Un hommage y est rendu au Grand Condé dont le buste, par Coysevox, attire le regard sur la cheminée, tandis que les armoiries des compagnons d’armes du prince ornent le plafond"

[[Edit: I'm seeing this picture getting hits from people searching for "Helsinki library". This IS a library in Helsinki, but it's not Oodi, the new Central Library, which is this one.]]
Vuosaari is a suburb of Greater Helsinki, albeit quite a big one, so I wasn't expecting much. It's a really nice place though, with a cracking public library.
There were plenty of books (all too often absent these days), a great children's section, computers and internet access, DVD and Bluray for loan, and the thing that really caught my eye was a Roland CAMM-1 vinyl cutter. Not the sort of thing one normally finds in a branch library!
This is a place you can always find ducks and geese.. and Flowers in season.. This is not the front of the building even tho it looks like it.. The front door is on the right side where the parking area is but I think this is a lot more beautiful... Happy Windows Wednesday, Everybody
* This is the main bldg of the downtown branch. I hadn't been inside here since high school*
I went to the Houston Public Library (downtown branch) after work today to do some research on the history of my neighborhood. Mangum Manor is officially 50 years old. In December 1954, the neighborhood's first residents, the Sullivans, moved in to 5019 Saxon. At the time, Donna Lynn (my current street) didn't even exist. It wouldn't be for another 15 years that what is now 290 would exist.

This is part of the children's section of our little library here in St. Charles. I set out to take a picture in the 'grown ups' section, but the children's side is much more fun!
