I’m with @liushansen exploring the Green Square library in Australia. I must admit, I order my books by author rather than colour, but you can’t say this doesn’t look great. How do you guys order the books on your shelves?

location: glasgow, renfrew street

year: 1907-1909
When I was a young girl I loved spending Saturdays in the tiny public library in my home town. It held books that opened the whole big wide world to me. I loved reading about darkest Africa in one book, and then exploring a favorite Nancy Drew. To this day I am an avid reader, which serves me well during the long dark days of winter. Most Alaskan's are voracious readers, so I was delighted to see this homey library located in a small Alaskan village. I thought the entrance was very inviting.

Junior literature has been my reading level these days. Not so heavy, full of adventure and imagination, and sometimes even illustrated!
Legend has it that the books in the Bodleian Library in Oxford are sorted according to their size. This would appear to be the case - at least shelf by shelf - here, too. Dublin, September 2017.
Jefferson Hall, completed in August 2008, reflects the Academy’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence. The Cadet Library, the Center for Enhanced Performance and the Center for Teaching Excellence, all providers of student-centered information services, are now consolidated in one central location, directly along the path from the barracks to Thayer Hall.
Modern in design and composition, Jefferson Hall yet incorporates many of the characteristics of Central Area architecture, such as entry arches, limestone window surrounds and multi-paned windows. Special features include 8,000 amber-colored glass blocks on the north exterior wall of the ground floor and terracotta bricks on interior walls. New Hampshire granite, used on the exterior, is also incorporated in the interior walls of the lobby and sixth floor. The upholstered furniture was manufactured in North Carolina, and the wooden tables and chairs in Wisconsin.

We renewed our tickets to Leeds Castle in Kent yesterday after nearly a couple of years and it was nice to go round and get a few shots. This is one of my favourite rooms and is the library.

《吉米柯瑞根：地球上最聰明的小子》
Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth
Taiwan's Traditional Chinese Edition

被譽為圖像小說界的厄普代克！
《白牙》作者莎娣‧史密斯熱愛推薦！
「你看完這本書大約需要五個小時的時間，約莫等於我和我親生父親曾相處時間的總和。」--克里斯．衛爾
衛爾的父親在失蹤三十年後，忽然以幾通電話和一頓令人坐立難安的晚餐出現在他面前。但當兩人還沒機會再見面之前，他父親便死於心臟病發。這樣充滿失落寂寞、難堪痛苦、以及措手不及的經驗，累積沈澱在Ware的心中，於是他以極端自制、乾淨且縝密的手法繪圖，將小小的人物埋在小小的畫格中。你看到倉皇無助如迷路小孩的吉米在重複的小畫格中木訥無語，他的退縮、被忽視、與不知所措，在在令觀者不忍。
英國衛報的「第一本書獎」（First Book Award）設立至今，僅於2001年有一本漫畫／圖像小說（Graphic Novel）得獎。這本《吉米·科瑞根》，作者是來自芝加哥的漫畫家克里斯．衛爾。在前一年以《白牙》拿下「第一本書獎」的女作家莎娣·史密斯更在當時獎項未公布前，就認定《吉米·科瑞根》為其心目中的不二人選，她當時公開對媒體說：「克里斯．衛爾應該馬上當選——我根本不在乎名單上還有哪些人入圍！」
本書原連載於衛爾在1983年所自創的美國地下漫畫刊物《The ACME Novelty Library》（Fantagraphics發行）。這類自傳故事的主角Jimmy是個三十六歲、庸碌平凡的郵件收發雜工，自小受到父親的遺棄和母親相依為命，他因此常常在心中將自我退縮成小孩以逃避殘酷現實。一日，他忽然接到父親的來信邀請他一起過感恩節，數十年未見面的隔閡與渴望讓他心中充滿興奮期待與恐懼焦慮……
從《雪人》作者——插畫家Raymond Briggs到漫畫家Art Spiegleman等名家大老，對此作無不盛讚連連；更有評論家認為與其將本書與傳統超級英雄漫畫歸為同類，還不如將其與小說家厄普代克（John Updike）的作品相提並論可能更加恰當。

Central Library is a public library in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. The building that contains the library and the Grundy Art Gallery has been designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage.
In 1908, a site was picked for a new library and art gallery on Queen Street. It was partly financed by Bury artists Cuthbert and John Grundy. Construction started on the building in 1909, and it was completed in 1911. It was designed by Scottish architecture firm Cullen, Lochhead and Brown, who had won a competition for the project. In August 2010, the library closed to the public to undergo a year-long renovation that cost £3 million. It reopened on 26 September 2011. The Library celebrated its centenary on 26 October 2011.
The library is in the Edwardian Baroque style. It is on two storeys and is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and striped pilasters. The library occupies the corner part of the building; the west and south walls have flanking pylons on plinths made of stone. The corner entrance is flanked by three ionic columns on each side. Over the doorway is a large, rectangular window, and above that, a frieze carved with the words "Central Public Library". At the top, there is an octaonal leaded dome, which has a finial shaped like an urn.
On 20 October 1983 the building that contains the library, and the adjacent Grundy Art Gallery, was designated a Grade II listed building by Historic England. The Grade II listing—the lowest of the three grades—is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest".
As part of the centenary renovation of the building in 2011, 8 new stained glass windows were commissioned. Designed by Nick Robertson with a brief from the staff of the Library and input from Library users which were made by Rainbow Glass Studios based in London.

We stopped in at the Tillamook County Library, which is a really nice place. They have a number of great murals on the walls and this was one of them. That framed shovel was the one used during the groundbreaking for this building.
