The starfield library is aesthetically designed and spans from the 4th floor to the 7th floor in the middle of the recently opened shopping mall. You can read books, magazines, and use the tablets set up on the 4th floor. Books are displayed on the walls from the 4th to the 7th floor but are out of reach.
#2928 - 2016 Day 6: Time to return some pre-Christmas reading to the library. It all happens here, you know; never a dull moment ...
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.

Had the chance to use a meeting room at the local library. Very nice space, warm inviting, wireless access :-). While one level is traditional "library", the lower level is set up as collaborative spaces, technology access and active and engaged (my pics for that area did not convey the feeling). The young adult section is set up traditionally. Wonder what that means?
This was the shot I intended to use: www.flickr.com/photos/konarheim/8358756577/in/photostream/ because of the sight line and vanishing points - but this one drew my attention to the shelf on the end with the sunlight. Hard to pick just one when nothing "wow" results.
I'm not sure excatly where this place was. We were on our trip from Stavanger to Kristiansand and we found a small village where you only were allowed to enter by foot. There we found this little nice library on the house side.
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.
Luckenwalde Stadt Bibliothek - Luckenwalde Town Library

Manchester Central Library is a circular library south of the Town Hall Extension in Manchester, England. It acts as the headquarters of the Manchester Library & Information Service, which also consists of 22 other community libraries.
Designed by E. Vincent Harris, the library was constructed between 1930 and 1934, but because of its traditional neoclassical architecture it is often mistakenly thought to be much older. At its opening one critic wrote "This is the sort of thing which persuades one to believe in the perennial applicability of the Classical canon". The form of the building, a columned portico attached to a rotunda domed structure, is loosely derived from the Pantheon, Rome.
The library building is grade II listed. In 2011, a three year project to renovate the library was started. Reconstruction will cost £170m and the library will be closed until 2014.
In 1968 it was recorded that the adult lending stock was 895,000, the adult reference stock 638,200, the junior stock 114,600, a total of nearly one and two thirds of a million volumes. There were about 2,000 reading places and an estimated 10,000 people visited the library each day. There were subscriptions to 3,000 periodicals.
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? :-)

The Library of Congress is a very hard thing to photograph with my gear. But I did get this one shot that I really like.
