The impressive building and the accompanying square of the National Library in the centre of Pyongyang.
We renewed our tickets to Leeds Castle in Kent yesterday after nearly a couple of years and it was nice to go round and get a few shots. This is one of my favourite rooms and is the library.

Libraries are wonderful places! Our local branch library is closed for renovation, so I payed a visit to the central library. Came out with four big books! So many more I wanted, but my arms didn't want to carry them, and I wouldn't have time to peruse them by their due date.

Jefferson Hall, completed in August 2008, reflects the Academy’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence. The Cadet Library, the Center for Enhanced Performance and the Center for Teaching Excellence, all providers of student-centered information services, are now consolidated in one central location, directly along the path from the barracks to Thayer Hall.
Modern in design and composition, Jefferson Hall yet incorporates many of the characteristics of Central Area architecture, such as entry arches, limestone window surrounds and multi-paned windows. Special features include 8,000 amber-colored glass blocks on the north exterior wall of the ground floor and terracotta bricks on interior walls. New Hampshire granite, used on the exterior, is also incorporated in the interior walls of the lobby and sixth floor. The upholstered furniture was manufactured in North Carolina, and the wooden tables and chairs in Wisconsin.

The Liverpool Central Library has recently had a 55 million pound refurbishment and has just re-opened to the public again after 3 years. I went down this morning but it was shut for the bank holiday. I will try again tomorrow as I believe the interior is spectacular. A recent quote described it as 'It's like going to meet your gran and finding she's turned into Beyoncé' :))
Oxford Union Library. Located in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, United Kingdom. In and around the grounds of University of Oxford.
And here we peek past the trophy books and into the library proper, which is home to 4 of the 9 bookcases in the house. I thought I had a lot of books until KAK and I put our libraries together, and he has a lot more than I do! It was a little dismaying, but who cares when the library looks so kickass?

Hadrian's Library
The impressive complex of Hadrian’s library is located in Plaka, a few meters north of the Roman Agora, not far from the train stop of the same name. It is the work of Emperor Hadrian, the great benefactor of Athens, who wanted to create a peaceful spot near the bustling bazaar, a place for reflection and pondering. The ground plan of the library complex was very similar to that of the Roman Agora, making one wonder whether it was Hadrian‘s intention to juxtapose the social character of Augustus’ creation with a structure that addressed the inner man.

My photo journey through the Hegeler Carus Mansion in LaSalle, Illinois.
Equipped with a roll of 400, and my trusty Nikon F2, I shot a series of photos with the intent to bring out the dark beauty of The Mansion. Unfortunately, most of these photos came out very soft, but I do think they have a certain film noir appeal to them.
I often wondered why Victorian mansions were always the centerpiece of haunted house stories, and now I know why. They're naturally ominous... even with light coming through. But they're beautiful nevertheless.
The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila (consul, 110 AD). Celsus had been consul in 92 AD, governor of Asia in 115 AD, and a wealthy and popular local citizen. He was a native of nearby Sardis and amongst the earliest men of purely Greek origin[4] to become a consul in the Roman Empire and is honoured both as a Greek and a Roman on the library itself. Celsus paid for the construction of the library with his own personal wealth.
The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a monumental tomb for Celsus. Celsus is buried in a sarcophagus beneath the library, in the main entrance which is both a crypt containing his sarcophagus and a sepulchral monument to him. It was unusual to be buried within a library or even within city limits, so this was a special honour for Celsus.
In the Library the Librarian rules.
The place where all the knowledge of the (un)known universe is accesable via L-space.
Also the place where the Octavo is being kept.
One place I always love to visit is the library. Next to photography I also love reading! I know that in some cultures borrowing books is a sign of poverty, but in Holland it is not :-) And if I had bought all the books I read, I need to extend our house. So hurray for the library!!
Our main library, called DOK Centrum, can best be described as a media center that combines three unique collections: Music and Film, Literature, and Art.
From the internet 'In December 2009 DOK won the 'Best library of the Netherlands' award and was voted to be the 'most modern library in the world' by USA research.'
