Title: Campusbibliotheek Arenberg
Other title: Campus Library Arenberg; Celestine Priory
Creator: Moneo, Jose Rafael; Keldermans, Rombout, d. 1531
Creator role: Architect
Date: 1521-1526 (Monastery built) 2002 (Restoration complete)
Current location: Heverlee, Vlaams-Brabant, Flanders, Belgium
Description of work: In January of 1997 the Katholieke Universiteit (Catholic University) located in Leuven (Flemish)/Louvain (French) held a competition for the renovation of the vacant Celestine priory, in nearby Heverlee, and its conversion into a library for four departments: Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences, Sciences, Engineering and Bio-engineering. Since its closure in 1783 the monastery had been utilized in a variety of ways. In the 19th and early 20th centuries the building was a stable for the nearby Castle Arenberg and from 1925 to 1984 it was a test station for plant breeding. Spanish architect Rafael Moneo embraced Rombout Keldermans II's original monastery architecture by incorporating new construction that enhanced (and found new use for) the old (Langouche, Guido ed. The Celestine Priory at Leuven: From Monastery to Library. Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2005). The addition connects opposite sides of the former monastery's courtyard which creates new outdoor spaces. The concave exterior walls on the top floor are mirrored by convex walls on the addition's opposite side (which faces the cloister garth) and by interior convex detailing that houses some of the entry hall's lighting.
Description of view: Series of library bookshelves with concrete columns, pyramid shaped skylights and an exit with concrete stairs in the background

I went to Ikea today to buy yet another Billy bookcase. After the initial reorganization, I thought I would take a photo and share this with you all. This is only a part of our library (1/3? 1/4?), but I thought it would be interesting to show you what my academic books are, grouped by subject. This doesn't include most of my history books (my undergrad major) or theology (another interest) or the very many fiction and nonfiction books we have scattered around the house.
The West Milford Public Library has some very interesting and beautiful flowers planted around the building. I spotted these while for my morning walk with the dog.
The Utrecht University is the largest university in the Netherlands. The library building at the campus is a very modern, large and beautiful building. There are a lot of rooms for studying, reading, relaxing etc.

The famous library of Celsus in the ancient city of Ephesus, capital of Asia minor in Roman times, and now located in Turkey.
The library was built by Celsus’ son, Gaius in honor of his father, the former governor of Asia minor in AD 115 and it was designed to hold 12,000 scrolls. The library became a center of learning for 145 years until it was burned and destroyed by the invading Goths in 262 AD.
Ironically, this 'center of learning' was opposite a 'center for prostitution', the brothel, on the other side of the street, an advert for which can be seen here

This interesting looking building stands on London Road, Stoke-on-Trent. Opened in November 1878, it was designed by Charles Lynam (1829-1921) and built by John Gallimore for a cost of £2,850. It appears to have been decorated in an early Arts and Crafts style.I have a feeling however, that the library, listed in 1991, has now closed.
