I reorganized, so I snapped a few new pictures. It looks dark because the flash showed just how badly the room needs painting (not while my stuff is in there!)
blown out shot of the opposite side of the library before we moved the couch and tiled in the fireplace surround. The statue is from "The Merchant of Venice" and is by John Rogers. The leather couch is a Montis piece found at a local antiques mall. It is Dutch and dates to the 1970's. Extremely lightweight and comfortable. The ladder was bought via eBay and needs to be secured as the children are proper house apes at this point.
The excellent central library in Portsmouth, a triumph of Brutalist Modernism, the original finishes inside were amazing

By 1990, the Library of Congress became the world's largest library, and continues to claim that title today

It wasn't just the artwork that caught my eye in the Rijksmuseum - the amazing library was a beautiful sight. I was really in my element - I love to see shelves of books and this is probably the most I've seen in one place!
The Cuypers Library is a research library in Amsterdam’s famous Rijksmuseum. It is the oldest and largest of its kind in the country and aesthetically astounding. However, despite the streams of tourists that flow through the museum, far too few seem to trickle into its remarkable reading room.
Thousands of books crowd the shelves of the largest art history library in the Netherlands, creating what resembles a wallpaper peppered with colorful bindings. Beams of sunlight spill through the windows, bathing the books in a soft glow. A spiral staircase curls in the corner like a metal ribbon, letting bibliophiles and art history buffs wind their way throughout the different levels.
The 19th-century library, which has recently been restored, has been collecting content since 1885. Its shelves are stocked with manuscripts bound to entice any art history lover. While browsing its extensive collection, you’ll come across books, journals, and periodicals, as well as catalogues about art auctions, exhibitions, trades, and collections. (From atlasobscura.com)

Main ground floor of the newly refurbished Sutton central library. Visited on the day it was officially reopened by the Mayor of Sutton.
This space was originally the council chamber, wit the library situated on the floors above. All that remains from that time are the shields which decorate the walls.

On October 23, 2017, our group visited the Instituto Geografico Militare. This institute is a library in the grand European tradition of rich wood paneling, and immaculate bookcases. It’s purpose is to collect and catalog maps for the Italian military.
Because it is connected with the military, there is security. It is not like a public or academic library.
The room I photographed here is what I would call the reading room.

I'd heard that Snodland library had been refurbished - so popped in to take a look.
What a transformation since our last visit! Looks twice the size (a glass walled office has been removed) and is much lighter and brighter. No more tall dark shelves and lots of pale, or colourful, modern furniture.
I have lived in Washington DC almost twenty years and have visited most of the museums, buildings and attractions at one time or another. To me, the most impressive is the Thomas Jefferson Building, the oldest and most recognizable Library of Congress building.
I have visited the LOC a few times but never attempted to get photos until my last visit. The scale is simply overwhelming. My lack of experience for indoor, architectural photography did not do justice to the grandeur of the place, but hopefully this short series will be of some interest. To me it's a must-see for any visit to DC.

Dropped my XE-1 while it was attached to my tripod… broke off the screw mount on the XE-1! But the lens and camera function perfectly still. It was about a 5 foot drop to asphalt, it was brutal. So therefore i have a noisy photo because i can't use the tripod… sad day. Perhaps an XT1 is in my future?

The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honor of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus’ son, Gaius Julius Aquila (consul, 110 AD). Celsus had been consul in 92 AD, governor of Asia in 115 AD, and a wealthy and popular local citizen. He was a native of nearby Sardis and amongst the earliest men of purely Greek origin] to become a consul in the Roman Empire and is honored both as a Greek and a Roman on the library itself. Celsus paid for the construction of the library with his own personal wealth.
The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a monumental tomb for Celsus. Celsus is buried in a sarcophagus beneath the library, in the main entrance which is both a crypt containing his sarcophagus and a sepulchral monument to him. It was unusual to be buried within a library or even within city limits, so this was a special honor for Celsus.
