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.
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.

This little library has a whale on the top. After photographing it I straightened up the books. Added two from my car.
The view from (roughly) the big chair in the previous photo. There's one more column of shelves to the right.

These images show books and current art exhibits at the Public Library in Georgetown, Central Texas. The photographs were taken with a vintage all manual Nikon 135 mm f2.8 AI-S prime manual lens as well as a very capable 28-105 mm f3.5-4.5 zoom auto focus (AF-D) lens.
This was the kind of furniture in the area, it was designed for people to sit on the floor. The area was packed with teenagers.

The Great Hall of the Library of Congress - Thomas Jefferson Building.
The Library of Congress is the de facto national library of the United States and the research arm of the United States Congress. Located in three buildings in Washington, D.C., it is the largest library in the world by shelf space and holds the largest number of books.[2][3] The head of the Library is the Librarian of Congress, currently James H. Billington.
The Library of Congress was established by Congress in 1800 with a budget of $5,000, and was housed in the United States Capitol for most of the 19th century. After much of the original collection had been destroyed during the War of 1812, Thomas Jefferson sold the library 6487 books, his entire personal library, in 1815 [4][5]. After a period of decline during the mid-19th century the Library of Congress began to grow rapidly in both size and importance after the American Civil War, culminating in the construction of a separate library building and the transference of all copyright deposit holdings to the Library. During the rapid expansion of the 20th century the Library of Congress assumed a preeminent public role, becoming a "library of last resort" and expanding its mission for the benefit of scholars and the American people.
