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

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.

Upstairs at Smith Hall, now Playmakers Theatre, on the UNC Chapel Hill campus.
Copy of an image shown on exhibit at Davis Library in August 2012.
The building shown here, Smith Hall, now Playmakers Theatre, served as the library until 1910.
Steam radiators, which are seen here heating the room, were widely in use by about 1885 (invented late 1850s). I judge this image (see also study desks with cast iron bases, to the left) to date from about 1895.
I wonder where all the sculpture is now?
LATER: I was told, and a spot check of images bears this out, that the remains of this collection of casts of classical statuary is now located in Murchey Hall on campus, home to the Classics Department.

Kinson is one of the old settlements that existed in and around the Stour Valley long before Bournemouth was officially founded in 1810.
This stretch of Wimborne Rd lies at what would have been the heart of Kinson but most of the 'old Kinson' has long since disappeared although some older properties still stand including St Andrews Church, Pelhams and Gullivers Tavern, plus the odd old gate post or two, in the centre of Kinson.
Others such as the Dower House and the former St Andrews Vicarage, now the Toby Carvery, in what was the neighbouring village of Ensbury, which is now known as Northbourne, and thatched cottages in East Howe Lane, including the former Thatched House pub plus a few other bits and bobs also still survive in the vicinity.
Years ago Kinson used to cover a wider area than we may think of as Kinson today and covered land that is part of neighbouring Poole which is why the Kinson Pottery Industrial Estate out on Ringwood Rd in Poole is so named because the large Kinson Pottery works stood here into the 1960s
Kinson as we know it became part of Bournemouth in 1931, including East Howe, West Howe and on up to what is now the town boundary at Wallisdown Rd. Even at this time there was still a fairly rural aspect to the area as it would have been before the construction of large areas of council properties and other residential homes in the 50s and 60s.
The site of The Hub, which is the subject of this small series of images has most notably been occupied by a Victorian school until the 1950s, then a prefab library in the 1960s, and finally a more permanent library building from 1970 until 2008, when work to construct The Hub began.
The Hub incorporates a library and various other community outreach services and was officially opened by the television wildlife personality Chris Packham in 2010.

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.
Gdansk Library, Biblioteka Gdańska Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Established in 1596 as "Library of the City Council" Gdansk, The present library (1905) was built to a design by Karl Kleefeld in neo-Gothic style, reminiscent of the same to the gothic nature of the previous headquarters in Gdansk It houses 800,000 volumes as of 2005. We were intrigued with their collection of medieval manuscripts, dating back to 1423. There are original manuscripts of Martin Luther King and other activists of the Reformation. There are also parts of Biblical text from the 10-12th century including the writings of St. Augustine (bgpan.gda.pl/)
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.
