Description of work : Located between the Vistula River and the Warsaw Escarpment on a culturally and ecologically significant site, the library's design is based on a "city in the woods" concept and was the winning entry of the 1993 design competition for the building. The library is built within the existing topography of the landscape (two levels below grade and two levels above grade) and is constructed of reinforced concrete, steel, glass, and pre-patinated copper. The building's 5,000 square meter green roof is watered by a stormwater irrigation system and contains four thematic gardens, each of which is surrounded by massive skylights and connected by steel bridges. The roof gardens provide expansive views of the city and are integrated into the adjacent University Public Garden by grand staircases and linear water channels. "The library's interior is divided both functionally and physically by a glass enclosed street arcade, which serves to separate and connect the library stacks andleased commercial space.The copper facade along Dobra Street displays eight [4x7 meter] copper tablets containing six different alphabets, mathematical and chemical equations and musical and literary concepts."

„Prop your picture blue and yellow.” Stardust is resting on the moon in midst a gloomy scenery, inspired by the famous Van Gogh picture.
My first photo in 2023! I wanted to take pictures of my Stardust for so long now. It’s an amazing figure and I find it hard to believe, that this was released five years ago for only 12.000 yen? The sole thing I’m not a fan of are the three dangling strings in the crest of the moon, because one is too close to her face and also there is this silly looking gab between two of them. I don’t know why they arranged it that way but luckily, for a photo I can simply remove them from the picture. Anyhow, if you can find her for a decent price, I can absolutely recommend this figure.

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.

First of Four Little Free Libraries that I found on this morning's drive around a few back country roads.

The public library at CS Lewis Square, on the Newtownards Road, in East Belfast.

Here is my library which also currently houses the Hello Kitty items that came in Package 3 from Singapore. The books here are mostly to give you the reader an idea of just how much HK was in package 3. Pretty soon, this will be a Hello Kitty room with books instead of the library with some Hello Kitty items ^_^;;;
Second floor at Bergen public library.
This was one of my test shot getting to know my new lens yesterday.
Pretty okey when one of your first shot with a new lens get explored, must be good luck!

Ok studious library people, maybe some of you need to look up the word "stylish" . . . or so one might imagine the 6yrold's thought process as she furtively and quietly checked out the reading room at the library. A sequin hat and fringe boots at the library on Saturday morning is completely cliche, correct?
This is my school's library during a foggy night.
