Grinnell Library in Wappingers Falls opened in 1887 and is the sixth oldest public library in New York. Here's a head-on view from 2017.
Jinling Library is a Nanjing Municipal Library, founded in 1927, located at the former Pingjiangfu Chapel. Originally, it was called Nanjing Special (No.1) Popular Library. In 1928, it changed its name into Nanjing No.1 Municipal Library, and in 1930 to Nanjing Special Municipal Demotic Library. It was then moved to the Pan Palace. Jinling Library merged with the Domestic Science Museum in 1932 and was re-named as Nanjing Municipal Library the following year. On December 13, 1932, after the Japanese troops took over Nanjing, the Pan Palace, together with the library, was badly damaged and most of the books were destroyed. In 1952, Nanjing was demoted from the national capital to the capital of Jiangsu Province. Six years later, the Municipal Government decided to reestablish the library. In October 1980, the library was completed and open to the public at 262 Changjiang Road. The new pavilion had been constructed since 2005 and was open for trial in 2009. Jinling Library, with a total of two million books, is now located at 158 Leshan Road, Jianye District.
My third version of this, one of Manchester's finest and best-loved buildings.
The library was opened in 1934 by King George V.......
"The royals were whisked off to the second floor where there was a Reception Room and private apartments usually used by the Chairman of Committee. As there was no plumbing on that side of the building two Elsans [toilets] had been provided for royal use. The King drank a welcome whisky and soda and the Queen a cup of tea from a newly-purchased tea-service that later went into the Town Hall china closets." (Hilda McGill, former member of staff)

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.
This is a new project called Manchester's forgotten architecture. There is a disturbing revolution happening in Manchester. It is turning into a Londonesque skyline with Steel and Glass being the order of the day. Older buildings and yes, streets are being demolished to make way for this "progress." One developer actually said, " We are demolishing buildings that perhaps have local history, but not recognised as national importance. It is in Manchester's interest to let go of it's past and embrace it's future.
Here is a picture of Manchester Law Library, still fully stocked with papers dating back to 1820. The majority of the artifacts have now been moved to a new facility. It is worth noting that this building receives no public funding for its upkeep. All privately funded by its members.As for the future of this beautiful building? well, it is a Grade II listed building, but that has never stopped a determined developer.
Everton Library, sadly closed down and falling into disrepair. A really lovely building that should be saved and re-opened.
The morning sun streaking through the slats at the library gazebo in the Family Garden of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center caught my attention. I have been moving away from capturing all of something to photographing significant parts. The instructions for use can be read through the window on the door.

One of the few quiet spaces in the library - lots of activities everywhere else for Fun Palaces weekend.
Westcliff is Grade II listed - I think those unusual windows and the 'central 6 bay ridge and furrow clerestorey' as described in the listing, might have something to do with it.
Boxes of a street open library appeared on boulevard trees. Free of charge books offer each and every passer by a unique opportunity not only to grab a book, but to follow it;s destiny as well. Most of the books are marked as books-crossing, some lack any signs of a previous owner. Anyway this fun way to find a new reading seems to be a new joy.
Etu-Töölössä sijaitseva entinen Kauppakorkeakoulun päärakennus on rakennettu funktionalistiseen tyyliin. Kuva on otettu pian rakennuksen valmistumisen jälkeen ennen kirjastomateriaalin sisäänmuutoa. Kuvassa on kirjaston asiakaspalvelupöytä, joka ei ole vielä lopullisella paikallaan.

* 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.
