After the Capitol tour ended and we were shepherded back into the Visitor Center. Looking to stay in the air conditioning for as long as possible, we went through the tunnel that leads to the Library of Congress. Located just across the street from the Capitol is the Thomas Jefferson Building, which is the oldest building belonging to the Library of Congress. It's also one of the prettiest buildings in all of DC.
Built between 1890 and 1897, the interior of the Jefferson Building is an amazing and elaborately decorated wonder. This is the Great Hall, which was awesomely beautiful.
Took this shot a few days ago at the Central Library. It's one of my most favourite buildings in Vancouver. I love the curves, the windows, the lines, and the books!

This is the study room of Suzallo Library in University of Washington, Seattle. I had some time before the seminar that I went to attend there and thought I could take a HDR shot of the study room. This is a 3 exposure HDR merged in Photoshop and then tone mapped in Photomatix.
Run by a team of volunteers, with support from Dorset library services in the form of bookstock, computer/catalogue access, and regular visits from a community liaison librarian.

I suddenly realized that I did not have a picture of my basement library on flickr even though I occasionally talk about it. Deb's comment on my "Jesus Shelf" was the trigger for this little library group. Here I am posing in 2001 in my new library. My elbow is on a shelf of the religion section. Each section floor to ceiling is given to a specific area of study.

The splendid Edwardian library was built in 1903 and has responded well to being cleaned and restored. The foundation stone infoms us "Aston Manor Urban District Council. This Building was opened on Oct 30th 1903 by Alderman Edward Ansell", it also says that "The Entire Cost of this Building was defrayed by Andrew Carnegie Esq, The site being the Gift of Messrs William and Edward Ansell" Ansells brewery was situated opposite the building. The building is no longer a library and it is rumoured that it may be converted into flats.

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.
