Where i spend many mornings pricing and organizing used books for our Friends of the Bethlehem Library organization. It's a tight squeeze and the book carts help-we roll them out to a bigger room during our sales.
What an unbelievable place! Obviously in bad repair, but somebody could make this a showplace.
6 flashes: 3 Sunpak 383s in close CL and CR, full power, full height of light stands (almost 8 feet), ceiling bounce. (The wall behind me was all mirrors - no help there!) Another Sunpak upstairs just to the left of the top of the spiral staircase, wall bounced hard to the left to throw some light across that upper level, 1/4. 1 SB80 CL pointed directly at the far corner, about 1/16, another CL pointed at bottom left corner of image, about 1/64. Lots of level adjustments and some burn/overpaint of hotspots in post.

Bristol Central Library is a historic building on the south side of College Green, Bristol, England. It contains the main collections of Bristol's public library.
Built in 1906 by Charles Holden, its design was influential in the development of Edwardian Free Style architecture. Holden would later go on to build the Edward VII Memorial Wing of the Bristol Royal Infirmary, giving Bristol two of its most highly regarded Edwardian buildings. The Library has been designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building.
In 1899 Vincent Stuckey Lean left a bequest of £50,000 to replace Bristol's old public library building on King Street. An architectural competition was organised, and won by the firm of H. Percy Adams with designs by his assistant Charles Holden, at a cost of £30,000. The new library was built on land adjacent to the historic Abbey Gatehouse, and opened in 1906.
Because of the slope of the site, which falls away sharply to the south, the building has two basement levels creating five visible storeys at the rear, while only three storeys are visible at the front. The north front of the building is a blend of Tudor Revival and Modern Movement styles, designed to harmonise with the adjoining Abbey Gatehouse.
In contrast to the exterior, the interior is largely Neoclassical, with extensive use being made of round-arched vaulting. The entrance hall, which is at the eastern end of the north front, has vaulting faced in turquoise glass mosaic. A variety of different kinds of marble is used for the flooring and other facings in the entrance hall and for the main staircase.

Floors sanded and treated with lye and Swedish soap. It is still pretty spotty but I was assured this is normal and should go away over time. We´ll see. I like it though.The plan is to have all floors downstairs like that one day. Oh and paint swatches - what do you think?
Sorry for the crappy picture, there is not enough light these days for the point & shoot and I still don´t have a wide angle lense for the Nikon. Need to fix that.
Chatsworth’s library is one of the house’s most important historic rooms, built up over centuries by the Devonshire family . It was shaped early on by Thomas Hobbes, then greatly expanded and reorganised by the 6th Duke of Devonshire in the early 19th century, when the Long Gallery was converted into the library space seen today The collection now includes over 17,000 books in the Library and Ante Library, and around 40,000 volumes in total, including Hobbes’s writings, Henry Cavendish manuscripts, medieval manuscripts, and early printed books.
nrhp # 85001498- On March 25, 1871, the "Olean Library Association" was established by a small group of public-spirited citizens. The first meeting was held in Miss Lyon's school house on Laurens Street. In May 1871, the library settled in the rear of John G. Pelton's tailor shop (located on the west side of North Union Street, midway between Laurens and State streets). It was open only 1 day per week, Saturday from 1-9 PM. Annual dues were $2.00 for gentlemen and $1.00 for ladies. 697 books formed the collection.[2]
On September 30, 1878, the library moved to a new home under the supervision of Charles Gillingham. It was located in a room rented from P.J. Hastings in what was known as the Berg (or Birge, after Norman Birge, a harness maker who owned the block). Later, it moved to quarters on the second floor of the Exchange Bank building, and then to 102 Hamilton Street where it remained until 1889.[2]
On June 12, 1888, the library was renamed in honor of George V. Forman, who donated the property and building.[3] Forman was a founder of "Vandergrift, Forman & Company," which became part of the Standard Oil Company.[4] The library moved into its new home on Forman property on April 2, 1889.
"Old" Olean Public Library
On December 13, 1906, the charter which was granted by the Board of Regents of New York State named the institution "The Olean Public Library" and it became a free library. In April 1909, the library relocated to the second floor of City Hall while the "Carnegie Library" was being built on the Forman property. The cornerstone for Carnegie building was laid on July 3, 1909.[2]
The library is a historic, built in 1909, with funds provided by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie was one of 3,000 such libraries constructed between 1885 and 1919, and one of 107 in New York State. Carnegie provided $40,000 (equivalent to $1,152,000 in 2020) toward the construction of the Olean library. The building was designed by architect Edward L. Tilton in the Beaux-Arts style. The interior features a grand stairway and entrance, large rooms, and central atrium.[5] The Carnegie building was opened May 23, 1910 and a period of growth in the size and scope of the collection and patronage began almost immediately. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
In the early 1970s, a new site was secured for the library and on September 21, 1973, the library opened at 134 North Second Street in a former Loblaws Supermarket. The modern facility continues to meet the changing informational needs of the community. The mission of the Olean Public Library is to improve the community's quality of life by providing equal access to materials in various formats, programming and services for patrons of all ages, and a capable and professional staff available to assist members of the greater Olean community in support of their educational, informational, and leisure needs.[2]
The original NRHP listed "Olean Public Library" was occupied by the "Olean Historical Society" and the "Department of Aging" from 1974 to 1979. In 1982, the Olean Board of Education sold the property to Louis Marra, which made possible the opening of The Old Library Restaurant and "The Old Bed and Breakfast Library Inn."

The library at Carnatic is being dismantled and the books are being given to charity. It's been out of use for 2 years. The library still has a paper catalogue, and the old-style date stamps.
My favorite library is closed on weekends, so I relied on a shelf of my most favorite childhood reads.

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.

Olga has the most amazing library ever. Look closely at the Javanese window screen. It's very old. It has bats in it.

TU Delft - Library
Het markante gebouw van TU Delft Library is een ontwerp van Mecanoo architecten. Eigenlijk is het niet alleen een gebouw, maar ook een landschap.
Symbool voor techniek
Het grasveld wordt aan een punt opgetild en ondersteund door kolommen. De grote hal die zo ontstaat, is voorzien van glazen gevels. De helling wordt doorbroken door een lome trap die naar de entree leidt. Een enorme kegel priemt door het beloopbare grasdak. De kegel staat symbool voor techniek en geeft vorm aan de ronde, introverte leeszalen.
Immense boekenkast
De boeken zijn uitgestald in een immense boekenkast, die zich uitstrekt van de begane grond tot aan het plafond van de vierde verdieping. De plaatsing van boeken, tijdschriften en computers is afgestemd op de baan van het licht.
