After having completed a series of arms control inspections under the terms of the Dayton Accord, under the auspices of the Organisation for Security & Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), on return to Sarajevo they provided us with a driver who took us on a "cultural" of the city. This driver was a university professor who considered himself lucky to get a job with the OSCE as a driver.
He explained to us, clearly distressed, that during the siege of Sarajevo, during which the Serbs in the heights above the city shelled and mortared the city, one night, targeted the Central Library, an imposing Islamic building which was a repository of centuries of priceless books and manuscripts. Today, the library has been restored, but most of the books were lost for ever, consumed by the flames.

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!

The new Birmingham library.
45 seconds at f16, ISO 100 with the Fuji X100 and a B+W 10 Stop ND filter.
I'm loving this little camera. It fit nicely into one jacket pocket, the ND filter and shutter release cable went into the other pocket and my hands were free to lug around the tripod (I might have to look at getting a lighterweight version).
I did get a few odd looks from passersby, security guard and a large number of police when setting up for this shot due to them putting up the barricades and security measure for the Conservative Party Conference at the NIA building next door.
The public library building in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Shot made just before dawn, using a Canon Powershot S90 camera.
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
We R ur community beggin fer access
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.

Dublin City Libraries were delighted to be back at the Rose Festival this year. There was plenty of activity around the Library in the Community van and the Lord Mayor of Dublin even popped by to say hello. Our library tent played host to some great family events including he Gruffalo puppet show and photogram workshop.
