The Carnegie Library is on St. John's Quay, opposite the River Dore. It was opened in 1910; in 2010 it celebrated a proud century of service. When it was being planned, the library had a local patroness from the Anglo-Irish Ascendancy: Ellen (nee Bischoffstein) Countess of Dysart. The Countess remained faithful to her Jewish heritage while also becoming a keen advocate of all things Irish. In recognition for her devotion to Irish ideals, the Countess was made a Senator of the Irish Free State in 1922.
View of Powell library through the pillars of Royce Hall.
Love the details seen on the pillars along with the brick details. Too bad the sky is a bit overblown.

The newly renovated Elmhurst Library features a transparent façade and includes several amenities that fulfill critical needs lacking in this Queens neighborhood. The new four-level branch will have a cyber center for public use, an adult learning center, and training rooms located at the front of the facility that are highly visible from the street. The new building will also include a memory wall, learning garden, historic photographs, and a children’s fireplace to commemorate the original branch’s design by Andrew Carnegie in 1906.

The HEB Buddy came by the library to take pictures with the kids, and he brought along a helper who had snacks for the kids and read them a story!
Inside the Seattle Public Library, from the 5th Avenue entrance. I stitched together 5 pictures -- and I didn't want to lose some of the view by trimming down, so some of the edges of the original pictures still show.

Description of work : Denver Central Library, the eighth largest library in the U.S., is located on Civic Center Park between the city's art museum and history museum in the Civic Center Cultural Complex. In 1995 a renovation of the existing 133,000-square-foot library, designed by Burnham Hoyt and completed in 1956, added an expansion of 405,000 square feet. The scale and coloration of the expansion, as well as the individualized massing of its components, allow the original library to maintain its own identity as one element of a larger composition. Two public entrances establish an east-west axis through the Great Hall, a three-story vaulted public room of urban scale, which is the focal point for visitor orientation and circulation. The south-facing rotunda contains specialized functional areas such as the reference room and periodicals center, with the Western History Reading Room above.
