Today I broke one of my biggest rules, never study in a the library at my school. After searching around local bookstores for a cheap used copy and after checking out Barnes & Noble so I could read it there without paying for it, I had to go to my school's library to check out the book. I guess I didn't technically study in the library, but just the fact that I was there made me kind of sad. I had gone a little over a year and a half without going to the library for any additional academic reason other than class and today that came to an end. Well, it was a good record while it lasted.
But the real reason why I took this picture was because after I finally found the book I was looking for, I looked down the way and I felt like I was in The Shining. The library was making creepy noises, there was almost no one around, and basically, it was creepy.
The library was opened by the Queen in 1962, replacing the nearby former Carnegie Library of 1908. This view from the car park above The Arndale Centre was taken in 1984. The Co-op store in the background has long-gone, replaced by the Galaxy cinema complex, whilst I think that the Strathmore Hotel in the foreground closed late last year. Note the row of K8 telephone boxes down below.

This is my library and office area... That "desk" is really a dining room table that I fell in love with-
back to the secret library garden after i picked up my current "hold"....art of the spirit...by robert henri. this book was first published in 1930. i have 24 library books checked out. this is the second copy i have of this same book. i don't quite know how that happened but i must have thought it was a different book by him.
i need to learn NOT to check out so many books at one time.
i could not use the "self check out" on this one because it's so old...had to take it to the librarian...which would be fine except they always want to print out the entire list of the books i have out. i always say "please don't do that...it's embarrassing to see the thing keep printing and printing" ....
and they always laugh but tell me they WANT me to be use the library.
Books are on a continuous spiral on levels 6-9. Floor mats have corresponding Dewey Decimal numbers so you know where you are.
The library’s collection of Oversize Books is the last shelf of Circulating Books, immediately after the Zs. This area contains books too large for regular circulation shelving. Often these books contain pictures and photos. They are good resources for graphics and images.
Oversize Books use the same A to Z organization as the rest of the Circulating Book Collection.
If you still do not understand how the A to Z subject classification system works, ask a librarian to further explain the Library of Congress system to you.
The shelves on fourth floor continue the Circulating Book Collection. At the south end of the library, the Circulating Collection starts with the letter N.
N: Art.
P: Language and Literature
(The library’s Literature collection is one of the largest book sections in the library.)
Q: Science, from Math to Chemistry
R: Health and Medicine, including Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy
S: Agriculture and Forestry
T: Technology, including Electronics, Welding and Cooking
U and V: Military Science
Z: Library Science

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.
Happy Birthday to me! I ordered some cupcakes for my birthday and Michelle from Clever Cupcakes (www.clevercupcakes.com) decorated them in a library theme!

The Richvale Library opened in 1983, replacing a smaller library on the same site. About 8,000 square feet in size it was designed by architect Philip Carter to blend into the community around it.
It's a particulary airy space, like a living room that just happens to provide you with a great collection of books, CD's, videos, and magazines, as well as comfortable spaces to sit and read, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff to help you find what you want. Programs and storytime sessions for children are run throughout the year.
