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.

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.
Lucky me. A parking spot opposite the old library (now a pub) on a sunny day. There are so many beautiful Carnegie buildings around. I'd love to sketch more.
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.

September 12 - Library
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!
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.

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.
Shelves of books line a corridor in Chethams Library, Manchester
Chetham's Library in Manchester is the oldest free public reference library in the United Kingdom. It was established in 1653 under the will of Humphrey Chetham and has been in continuous use since.
The library holds more than 100,000 volumes of printed books, of which 60,000 were published before 1851.
Chetham's was the meeting place of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels when Marx visited Manchester. The economics books Marx was reading at the time can be seen on a shelf in the library, as can the window seat where Marx and Engels would meet.
