For a National Library Week bulletin board we had local celebrities (and a few authors) tell us their favorite library story/memory. We included a photo with their story and posted it as a "book" for the bulletin board.

This place was created with the intent of becoming a neighborhood bar, as opposed to a trendy hot spot that sizzles briefly and then disappears. It's paneled with dark wood and one wall is dominated by built-in bookcases stuffed with books. The "library" theme is also apt because this resides on the ground floor of the Library Court condo building and it's a half block from the central L.A. library.
If you like cozy and intimate, this is your place. If you like to see what you're drinking, bring a flashlight. It's very dark!

1803 with later additions and alterations, particularly 1888. 3-storey 6-bay fortified building (former jail) with later Baronial style alterations. Pebbledash with ashlar dressings (red sandstone to later Baronial style alterations), some rendered. Corbelled string course between 2nd and low jettied 3rd storeys; slightly advanced long and short quoins; tails to most windows. Asymmetrically grouped 1-4-1. Large gap between 1st and 2nd floors of 4-bay group; segmental-arched small windows to each bay at 2nd floor.

Bipartite window at 1st floor; corbelled turret breaking height of eaves to outer left.
The building was erected to replace the Tolbooth as a Jail. In 1884 it ceased to be used as such and was offered to Selkirk Town Council. It was restored and presented to the town by Thomas Craig-Brown in 1888 as a library and reading room. According to B Holton and Strang, there is still a subterranean passageway to the Sheriff Court opposite, through which the prisoners were taken. In 1845, the prison was regarded as being "not well secured", as 2 of 7 prisoners had managed to escape that year and prisoners would frequently leave in the evening, returning for when the jailer came in the morning!
Celsus Library
Ephesus (Hittite: Apasa Greek: Έφεσος, Turkish: Efes) was an Ionian city in ancient Anatolia. The city was located in Ionia, where the Cayster River (Küçük Menderes) flows into the Aegean Sea. It was part of the Panionian League.
Today's archaeological site lies 3 kilometers south of the Selçuk district of İzmir Province, Turkey. The ruins of Ephesus are a favorite international and local tourist attraction, partly owing to their easy accessibility from Adnan Menderes Airport and via the port of Kuşadası.
Ephesus hosted one of the seven churches of Asia, addressed in the Book of Revelation of The Bible (2:1–7). It is also the site of a large gladiator graveyard.
the 6yrold loves to read and she loves going to the library to browse and read but our local library, ridiculously, is open only Mon-Fri and has no weekend operating hours whatsoever. we, however, are adaptable and have wheels so we headed in to the main branch of the Boston Public Library on Saturday morning and on our way to the kids room made a quick stop - note the impatient pout of the 6yrold at the delay in proceeding - to take a look around the fascinating McKim building.
with only the Fuji X100 with me, which i love but which has its limitations, the handheld shots I got in the building's dim light are perfect for sliding. happy Sunday friends!
The Ohio County Public Library under construction, Hempfield Yard site, looking southwest toward Center Wheeling, circa 1972.
The Wheeling Warehouse & Storage Company building on the left hand side in the background is now the Education Center for West Virginia Northern Community College. To the right, a tower for the old B&O Viaduct still stands and behind it, the Bus Terminal sign can be still be seen. Across the Chapline Street Bridge, the old Wheeling High School building is still standing as well.

Something I vakue highly is our public library. I was going to try to get a photo of our hospital in Collingwood, but didn't have any excuse to drive there except for the photo, so thought I would make an environmentally correct decision. Regardless, I cannot conceive of a community without a library and am really happy we have one where I live.
A few shots of the basement of Birmingham Central Library, specifically the photo archives. Nikon crapped out so these are taken with my phone.

Wright Library
Dayton, Ohio
Listed 12/24/2013
Reference Number: 13000981
Wright Memorial Public Library is being nominated under Criterion C for its architectural distinction as an excellent example of a Tudor or Jacobethan Revival style library designed by the local Dayton, Ohio, architecture firm of Schenck and Williams. Schenck and Williams were responsible for the designs of much of the civic architecture in Oakwood, which, in addition to the library, includes three public schools, the city administration building, and a large-scale apartment building, all in the Tudor or Jacobethan Revival style. They also designed a number of private houses in Oakwood, also in the Tudor style, as well as a number of office and other buildings for businesses and institutions in Dayton. Built in 1939, Wright Memorial Public Library is important as an extant example of the firm's work, and their ability to apply architectural conventions of a style to a variety of building types. A complete inventory of Schenck and Williams buildings does not exist; therefore, it is not known if this is their only library design. What is known is that Wright Memorial Public Library is a well-preserved example of a Tudor-styled library with its half-timbering, casement windows, Flemish bond brick work, a steeply-pitched slate-covered roof, multi-paned windows, large window bays, and stone decoration at doors, windows and gable ends, all prominent elements characteristic of the Tudor Revival style. In 1939, at the time of construction, the Tudor style was still a popular architecture choice. But the choice of Tudor architecture and the firm of Schenck and Williams are also representative ot he city of Oakwood's tradition of rewarding civic building designs to this well-respected firm and using their signature style.
