An icon of British Brutalism with its stark use of concrete, bold geometry, inverted ziggurat sculptural form and monumental scale, its style was seen at the time as a symbol of social progressivism.

I started making read posters for the library last year as part of a marketing campaign. The project began with posters of faculty and staff posing with works they have published. We've been entertaining the idea of doing student versions for a while now. I finally got off my ass and finished up the first in the series. This is Mike, our ex student worker, member of Dormlife, and patient muse. Check out his band's site on myspace: www.myspace.com/dormlife.

Why do bookends appeal? Is it their decorativeness? Is it the fantasy they portray? Is it that they visualize the romance, adventure, history and knowledge found in books? Are they used to reflect our sense of style? Is it that they are in pairs? Perhaps it is all these reasons.
Bookends: another chapter is an exhibition at Mosman Library that showcases treasured bookends held in private collections. The exhibition, on display from Tuesday 12 April to Sunday 15 May 2011, is an opportunity to view some fantastic pieces dating from the 1920s to the 1980s.

The main public library in Pittsburgh. It was built in 1895, and was one of the first libraries built by Andrew Carnegie. Note lthe inscription over the columns. It is part of a museum complex in the Oakland district, near the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. This photo was taken in 1967. Recent photos show that the exterior of the buiding has been cleaned since then, and is much lighter in color.
Andrew Carnegie (1833-1919) was born in Scotland, and came to the United States with his family at the age of 13. He made a vast fortune in the steel industry, and gave most of it away in the last 30 years of his life. Public libraries may have been his best known philanthropy. He built over 2,500 libraries, 1,700 in the U.S. and most of the rest in Britain, Ireland, and Canada. A city that applied for a Carnegie Library had to meet certain requirements, including providing a site, providing a given sum each year for books and maintenance, free access, and open stacks.

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.
