The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!

Seattle Public Library
Architect: Rem Koolhaas
Now I'm really starting to mix things up--first pacific coast and redwoods, then modern metal-boxes, then snow-covered mountains and now we return to steel-grids. So be it. Still, I am at 199, so it looks like I might make it to professional photographer after all--at least flickerite.
Zipped into downtown Seattle on my 5-h. layover to see some old college-friend--who, might I add--doesn't look (or probably act) much older than they did 19 years ago. At any rate it was refreshing to tour a city with someone who has a real enthusiasm for architecture and nice detailing and isn't shy to point out things that he appreciates.
Parked right in front of the entrance so that I didn't even get much of a view of the exterior in it's context, but I was a little nervous about missing my next flight, so we went right in. It is very typical Koolhaas with its industrial look and feel, material-mix and color-scheme. Some very nice spaces and interior perspectives--as well as views out.
I run a monthly craft session for children at my local library with help from a great teenager. At our last session, one of our regular young crafters pointed out poor Coco who was in need of help, so he came home with me for arm reattchment surgery and after a few days of recuperation - and reading through the entire contents of my bookshelves, he has returned home to the library fit and well.

Made around 2000, from 3 or 4 rounds of swaps online at QuiltersBee with quilters all around the world, from 15 miles away to New Zealand and Australia. On the wall it really looks like a bookcase there with 3 dimensional parts and signatures from my fellow swappers

These pets spent most all of one day this week attempting and achieving entrance to the library. Seems their owner was busy inside but returning periodically to give them water in little cups.
Some customers paused outside and waited to enter. Some children inside hurried to open the doors to let the dogs come right on inside.
They could be heard barking from the second floor on occasion and were retrieved promptly when they scurried into the library's Local and Family History room.

The Library of Parliament is the main information repository and research resource for the Parliament of Canada. The main branch of the library, which is the focus of this article, sits at the rear of the Centre Block, on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, Ontario, and is the last untouched part of that larger building's original incarnation, after it burned down in 1916. The library has been augmented and renovated a number of times since its construction in 1876, the last between 2002 and 2006, though the form and decor remain essentially authentic. The building today serves as a Canadian icon.
In the foreground you can see the original Victoria Tower Bell. It's the only relic remaining from the Victoria Tower. It was cast in 1875 and installed in the tower in 1877. The bell fell from the tower during the Centre Block fire of 1916. The bell's inclined position recalls the angle at which it came to rest after falling during the fire of 1916.
