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.

An old library ? It is , but I have not been visiting old stately homes or country mansions - in fact taken on the oven top pop up studio in the light box studio . In reality this is only only a Kindle cover - an electronic book encased in old traditional library of books .
There is no mark of who designed the library scene , enough to say not my creation , just my photo of it as it is quite eye catching !!
The library of Celsus in Efes, in Western Turkey. Ancient Greek city on a site that has been occupied for over 8000 years. During the Greek Period it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. Ephesus was one of seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of St. John may have been written in Ephesus and the ruins of the Basilica of St. John and his burial site are nearby. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was located here. The theatre of Ephesus could hold 25,000 people. Check out my Ephesus album for more images.
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.

Hadrian's Library was a large library in ancient Athens. Today it gets an unusual visit.
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.

The Rideau branch has the atmosphere of a heritage library with all the modern conveniences. It's one of the older libraries in the city.
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.

Thanks for views,faves and comments:-))
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.
Rafael could hardly believe his eyes, when he entered the library. Lanterns, exotic plants and countless books, things he hadn't seen before. "We need your help", said Hakim, carrying a heavy book. He was one of the wise men, studying in the library. "The statue of wisdom, the icon of the libary, it got stolen."
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?
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
