This was a small library where guests could borrow books. They needed to check them out at the reception desk. Some of the other larger hotels I stayed at had a similar area where people could get some reading material for their stay.
Views from inside the library at Stourhead. The library is dark and I had to use a lens that distorts, but I'm sure you get a sense of how beautiful this temple of wisdom is.
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.
My parents moved their "library" downstairs, where there is more room and actual sunlight. Right now there are still a few gaps, but those will close with time, I'm sure.

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.

First stop on our tour of libraries in North Kent's Gravesend/Gravesham area. There is a lovely courtyard garden outside Higham library, and evidence of skilled craftspeople in the area, with a couple of beautifully worked wall hangings.
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 :-)

My internet was down all weekend and I had concepts due for shoots, so I researched the old fashioned way.
Another try of getting a more interesting view of the walls of the library. This one worked out fairly well I think.
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.
We went into the Chicago Cultural Center. It is the old Chicago Public Library. The ornate detail was mind boggling! We trudged up a few floors and spotted this elaborately adorned staircase. I split my photo and created a mirror image, then cropped it.

The fairytale Leeds Castle, near Maidstone in Kent, was built as early as 1119 by Robert de Crèvecœur and in 1278 became a royal palace belonging to King Edward I of England. The Castle has endured a turbulent history, only managing to survive destruction during the English Civil War because its then owner, Sir Cheney Culpeper, sided with the Parliamentarians.
‘The British Library’ by Yinka Shonibare MBE is a celebration of the diversity of the British population. This presentation has transformed the entrance of Turner Contemporary into a place of discovery and debate. It consists of an installation of thousands of books covered in the artist’s signature material: batik Dutch wax printed cotton textile. On the spines of many of these books are printed the names of notable first and second generation immigrants and incoming migrants to Britain who have moved here throughout history. These names include Winston Churchill, Prince Philip and Dame Helen Mirren. These immigrants and incoming migrants have all made a significant contribution to aspects of British life and culture, from science to music, art, cinema and literature. Other books feature names of prominent figures who have opposed immigration at various times.
This is the "long wall" of my basement library. The carpenters made each section away from the site and carried them downstairs. All the shelves are adjustable.
