There seems to be an endless variety of music played on CKUA radio station programs throughout every day, and when you see the library, you will understand why. There are rows upon rows of records, CD's and other mediums that showcase the long history of music that we enjoy.
I also actually shot this a while back and thought that I would upload it to Flickr.
This is one amazing place to visit when in Adelaide. The best part about it is that it is completely open to the public and photographers!!!! When the security guard came up to me rather than kicking me out he offered to show me around other part of the library for other places to photograph.
Dutch Architects Mecanoo have completed Europe's largest public library in Birmingham, England, with a sunken amphitheatre, rooftop gardens and a shimmering facade clad with interlocking metal rings.
Sandwiched between a 1930s building and a 1960s theatre, the new Library of Birmingham fronts one of three piazzas that comprises Centenary Square. The building is made up of a stack of four rectangular volumes, which are staggered to create various canopies and terraces.
Mecanoo designed the exterior of the building to reference the city's jewellery quarter, adding a filigree pattern of metal rings over golden, silver and glass facades.

This is one end of the home library. To the right, out of t he frame, is the entry arch. (You can see a tiny corner of the pet gate.) My Mac computer is on the little desk, and a thrift store painting by a nashua artist hangs over it, along with some other art and collectibles. The shelving is IKEA Billy shelving with height extensions nearly to the ceiling.
The oldest continuously functioning library for university academics and students in the world – the historic Merton Mob Library, dating from 1373, at Oxford University.
Located in Washington, DC this is a marvelous place to visit if you are ever in the United States capital. A truly beautiful building.
"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"
