Another try of getting a more interesting view of the walls of the library. This one worked out fairly well I think.
The beautiful staircases of the main library in Calgary. The perfect combination of wood, lighting, and natural light. It opened in 2018.

After converting the old library/office into a family/game room, the new library now resides at one end of the great room, with the study just around the corner.
Just popped in for a nose, as I'd never been inside before. The library has had a lengthy revamp, I gather. Last time I was in the vicinity, at least 18 months ago, it was all hidden from view by hoardings.
The contrast of old and new is very well done. He's some of the old! Walking in, there was instantly the aroma of old books. The shelving is made of oak.
There was an empty bog standard creamy beige book trolley beneath the stairs which I removed for this shot. I think I did right? :-)
Another one from my library. I made this one a tiny bit over the top to give it the cool look and feel.
Hope you like it :-)

At 7 am on Monday, August 13, activists occupied a Carnegie Library which had closed in the 70s. Donated books were brought in.
Late that evening over 40 police raided the library and it was boarded up

Temescal Branch, Oakland Public Library.
Construction, c. 1918.
Obviously, the recessed lights are a later addition.

Its full of books which I will never be able to read, atleast for now as I don't speak/read French. But there are a few translated stuff which I plan to check out once I get the time! The books on photography are mainly in French with only a few of them translated. Nonetheless i like that place. Its quiet (quite obviously), well-lit and clean! I do not plan to become the undeclared promoter of AFD but that's where I mostly go to these days. Its exam time you see!

Innsbruck, Austria: We had a tour of the Stift Wilten Monastery Abbey including the Library captured in this shot.
Stift Wilten is part of the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, also known as the Premonstratensians, the Norbertines, or in Britain and Ireland as the White Canons (from the colour of their habit), are a Catholic religious order of canons regular founded at Prémontré near Laon in 1120 by Saint Norbert, who later became Archbishop of Magdeburg.

"Two lovers against a hostile town."
Double entendre?: "They tell me I can lick any woman," Cape said bitterly.
There's nothing like a guided tour to open one's eyes. I'd heard of the Portico Library, but didn't know where it was. But that's partly because the downstairs frontage in Mosley Street is a pub. The entrance is in Charlotte Street.
Opened in 1806, their web site says: "Leading exponent of the classical revival and architect of the earlier Liverpool Lyceum, Thomas Harrison was chosen to design the building. Builders David Bellhouse and Sons realised Harrison’s plans and delivered the resulting building for £6,881 5s. 3d."
Up a few flights of narrow stairs is this imposing reading room and exhibition space. Unfortunately the exhibition currently on prevented my showing the whole expanse of the interior. But see their web site for more details - and if you are local - visit and support it!
The reason we had popped down to London for the day - we were treated to a very good lunch at the Travellers' Club. A gentlemen's club, it was founded in 1819 and its current building was designed by Charles Barry (also architect of the Houses of Parliament) in 1832. Certainly a different world...
