The IMS Paulista Photography Library is a unique initiative in Brazil. With the capacity to shelter 30 thousand items, it aims to encourage research in the photographic field and to collaborate to understand photography in its most diverse modes of expression. The collection consists of publications of and about photography, contemplating also its unfolding in areas such as cinema, fashion, visual arts and humanities. Besides the catalog of general works, selected by the curatorship, there are special collections of names such as Stefania Bril, Thomaz Farkas, Iatã Cannabrava, Vania Toledo and Steidl.

The Library of Parliament (1876) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, stands on a bluff overlooking the Ottawa River. French explorer Samuel de Champlain passed here in 1613.
Designed by architects Alsop and Störmer and opened in 2000. It was awarded the Stirling Prize for Architecture in that same year.
The Calgary Central Library's design was unveiled to the public in September 2014 by architects Snøhetta (known for Bibliotheca Alexandrina) and DIALOG, who won a design competition in 2013. The entire building is oval-shaped and is elevated one floor above street level to cover a CTrain light rail tunnel and an open plaza, included with the intention of connecting Calgary's East Village to Downtown. The entrance is framed by wood-clad arches inspired by the shape of arched clouds made by Chinook winds in Alberta. Landscaping around the library and adjoining plaza consists of terracing inspired by the foothills of the Canadian Rockies.[8]
The exterior of the Calgary Central Library is wrapped in a textured façade, with translucent fritted glass panels used to shield private study areas and clear glass to make public areas viewable from the outside.[8][9]
The 22,000-square-metre (240,000 sq ft) interior is centered around a four-storey central atrium topped by a skylight. The lower floors contain the library's meeting spaces and activity centres, while the upper floors feature book stacks with space for 450,000 titles and a reading room. At street level, one floor below the main lobby, is a 340-seat theatre, conference rooms, and small café.[1][10]
The library features several sustainable design features, such as triple-pane windows to save energy on climate control and finishings made of low volatile organic compound materials.[11]
The city library is in the former fire station. Apart from books there are computers for public use and staff who know lots.
More than a place for books, it's a cultural center with poetry club meets, yoga sessions, local art exhibitions, and a warm place to hang out in the cold months.
If you are lucky enough to have a public library, please use it. Or lose it.
The public Library in my home town is a building that was converted after being destroyed in the bombing raids of March 1945. Historically it used to be an administration building for the diocese of Paderborn.

There is a small garden next to the former royal residence of King Rama I. It afforded me some very welcome shade and a place to sit for a few minutes
The town library is housed in what was originally the fire station, next to what was the town hall and is now the museum.
I don't know how old this lamp is, but it's rather nice, don't you think?

Saw these flowers that had fallen in the grounds of the local library and took Dasher back for an early Saturday morning shoot. He was very happy to sniff around and check out the place. He got a little dirty, but for him it was all part of the fun. He likes a good photo outing.
I have a few shots from this shoot that I like, but this is the one I like the most amongst all the pink and the soft light and shadows.
Hope you like it too.
Happy Sunday when you get there ;) Car x
