The Rivergate shopping centre was officially opened in 1975, construction having started several years before hand. The decision to demolish to the towns bridge and make the streets pedestrians only, garnered a few protests, but was given the go ahead anyway. The town centre was completely changed, with all of the buildings at Bridgegate being demolished as were the buildings on the opposite side of the river. To accommodate for the lack of a main road across the river a new bridge was built called the northern approach road or ‘Marress’ bridge, this photograph was taken from the top of Irvine’s high rise flats.

Projecting windows on T S Eliot House, by Haworth Tompkins architects, which forms the new extension to the London Library.
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.
Hazel and I went to the community library for story time while she visited this weekend. She was the only one in attendance. Heard a fun story and did a craft. We love libraries!
This is my pastiche of what a Buzzfeed aimed at Librarians might look like.

The figure on the Hall of Memory in Birmingham seems to contemplate, with horror, the rise of the new Birmingham Central library. This particular bronze commemorates the air force.
82-0803 Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, California.
This out of the way aviation (etc) venue is set in some very nice Californian real estate, I guess that is why Ronald Reagan chose it.
The library is also home to a former Air Force VIP jet (B707/VC-137), Sea King (VH-3A) and an F-14A Tomcat too.
One of the most expensive entry charges for any museum that I have visited at thirty dollars.
1001 Manuscripts - 1001 Stories
e-codices has been digitizing manuscripts since 2005, and by now it cooperates with all major manuscript libraries in Switzerland. With this new update with 20 more manuscripts, it has surpassed 1,000 manuscripts.
This milestone is being celebrated with a manuscript written in Persian containing a tale from One Thousand and One Nights.
By the way, Switzerland has about 7,500 medieval manuscripts and several times as many modern manuscripts. Making all these manuscripts accessible on the Internet in an exemplary manner within the next several years remains e-codices’ ambitious, but, quite realistic and definitely desirable goal. (taken from the newsletter from October 2013, Issue N° 12) www.e-codices.unifr.ch/newsletter/archive/issue-12.htm
Manuscript title: “The story of Seyf ol-Molûk and Badî`ol-Jamâl"
Manuscript summary: This manuscript, written in Persian, contains the story of Prince Seyf ol-Molûk and Princess Badî`ol-Jamâl. The manuscript was probably written in India and illustrated with 32 miniatures. At the end of the text (f. 56v), the scribe dated the manuscript in the year 1033 (in the Islamic calendar). The story can also be found in One Thousand and One Nights (758th to 778th night, edition Calcutta II 1839-1842).
Origin: India
Period: 17th century

One of the two entrances to Green library. This is the "Bing Wing," which is usually used to run exhibits. The current exhibit shows some of the documents of the founding fathers, including a couple of (early) versions of John Hancock's signature.
Got a little sloppy with this photo, too - I was concentrating so much on the bench and the roof tops that I missed seeing the branch right in front of me was obstructing too much of the building. After uploading to flickr, I was thinking of deleting it, but in the end, decided to leave it in as part of the set, and as a reminder to myself to replace it with a better shot one of these days.

For information about using this Leica lens with Nikon cameras, please see this link. I have also created a new set called Leica 19mm Elmarit-R, to which I will keep adding new photos taken with this lens that I upload to flickr.
Dutch book trade label from Boek en kantoorboekhandel Kramer, LEESBIBLIOTHEEK, Winterswijk, The Netherlands. Leesbibliotheek means library. I collect these Dutch labels because i write a book about the private Dutch libraries. They are all gone now, since the 60/70's .
The opening of Rochdale's new Library was celebrated by all sorts of interesting people. But here are decorative art works in the children's and story-telling area.
Some of the uglier buildings will be hidden when the trees are leaved.

Anythink Libraries wanted to remodel their Washington Branch. In this case they were looking for a 3-5 year solution, knowing that there was the possibility of relocating this branch library in the near future. The budget was modest for construction. We were encouraged to reuse what we could and new items were purchase with the intent of moving with the library.
By doing the following we were able to open up the floor plan, exposing the whole library to natural light and outside views.
•Split up the functions of the one circulation desk into two smaller staff pods.
•Relocate the community room to the first floor
•Relocate the staff area to the first floor
•Removing all interior walls in the library, exposing exterior windows
•Weeding the collection allowed for lower stack heights
•Using the elevator lobby for the self check units
•Purchasing new multi-use furniture scaled to the size of a smaller library.
New carpet and paint added to the package. Anythink brought in their branding to make this library feel and function as their new libraries.
Group3 Planners created the layout of the library, interior design, construction documents, and selected the furniture.

Public Library, Southborough, MA. Restocking the shelves in the children's room after the July flood.
mmmmk. this is at my library. all the libraries in the county have these giant wooden book-statues, each one has a different story on it. This one is Alice in wonderland. Someone took a knife, and in the middle of the night, beheaded Alice's wooden-cutout self. someone did the same to me, i suppose.

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.
Popplet rocks! This online tool helped me put my thoughts together. I think it will be a great tool for students to use, too! There are so many options...pdf, jpeg, online presentation, online collaboration. It should work well on the ipad too, though I have not set that up yet.
Sadly, this sweet building is coming down soon to make way for a larger library - read all about it here:
This is the Library as it was a couple of weeks ago. We have come a long way in the past 6 months.
There is still a lot of work to do: air conditioning, lights, more Arabic books, a computerised index system, etc. However, you can see the progress we have made. I got a bit fed up with the meetings and took the approach that I'd tell people what I was going to do and then get on and do it (quickly) - if they didn't want me to do it, they'd tell me to stop...
Personally I find this quite rewarding - fighting the "War on Terror" (sic) with words instead of bullets.
It's been a while, how about a little rose for today... Seems like it would brighten up the day.. It did for me...
