Two stone lionesses in the restored garden around the original entrance to the Morgan Library. The garden is now open when visiting the museum.
These female lions are "related" to the more familiar male lions in front of the New York Public Library because both pairs were created by Edward Clark Potter. His work can also be seen on the facade of the Brooklyn Museum.
Spreading knowledge, adventure and love one book at a time!
People can take a book for free as long as they replace it with a different book. We have a lot of these in our community. I thought this one was cute because it looks like a ladybug.

The Doheny Memorial Library on the campus of the University of Southern California opened in 1932. It’s still a destination and a draw.
This library is not characterised by old folios; it presents itself more as the repository of an enlightened, diversely interested, wealthy family of the 19th and early 20th centuries. For example, it contains the first encyclopaedia in the Czech language. The interest in foreign cultures and countries was satisfied (among other means) by reading the works of Jules Verne and -- Karl May.
Lx Factory, Lisboa, Portugal
Voar voar, subir subir, ir por onde for,
Descer até o céu cair ou mudar de cor,
Anjos de gás, asas de ilusão,
E um sonho audaz, feito um balão!

David Walsh's extensive personal library is housed at MONA and can be accessed through this tunnel. Like all spaces inside MONA there are wonderful tricks of light and perspective, as can be seen to some degree in this shot.
Went out hoping for a shot of the Capitol during Blue hour. As fate would have it, the Capitol was still under renovation making the shot I'd envisioned impossible. The Library of Congress, however, didn't disappoint.

"La majoria dels nostres problemes es poden resoldre.
Alguns d'ells requereixen cervell,
alguns d'ells paciència,
i tots els haurem de lluitar
com fa un caiman en un pantà."

I was fortunate to travel to the East Coast with 8th graders for 18 years. We started in Boston
and ended in Washington DC. I'm working on a book of images from our trips.
Chawton House Library
Elizabethan manor house which has been in the Knight family for over 400 years and once belonged to Jane Austen's brother, Edward, who was adopted by childless Knight cousins. It is now a specialist and unique library of over 9,000 titles focusing on women’s writing in English from 1600 to 1830, and also the Knight family library containing some volumes that were known to Jane Austen.
And I don't believe you live in a library
Sleeping with a book-blanket out at sea
The next time I wake up I want to be
In a rabbit hole to the sound of you
Making coffee
This beautiful library was built in memory of Shiba Ryōtarō, a literary hero in Osaka. It houses 20,000 of his 80,000 book collection, and the shelves are 11 metres tall!
We're currently waiting out typhoon Vongfong, which is passing by Osaka with less ferocity than first thought, but the streets are still deep in water.
Fortunately we're holed up with plenty of good food and drinks
