The library at Nostell Priory in Wakefield holds an amazing number of ancient books, many of them hundreds of years old and first editions. Truly breathtaking to see.
Edinburgh University’s Main Library opened in late summer 1967 and was designed by Sir Basil Spence’s architectural partnership Spence, Glover & Ferguson. Demolition work on the George Square site for the library began in November 1964. Many have never forgiven the university for redeveloping most of the original buildings in the square which dates from 1766. Basil Spence (1907-76) was appointed planning consultant for the university and was first asked to design a new library in 1955.
Described as ‘mannered modernism at its best’ in the Edinburgh volume of The Buildings of Scotland, the main library is ‘A’ listed. Originally it cost £2.1m (including £400,000 for furnishings and equipment). It accommodated two million books, with 2,500 reader places and 114 staff. At completion, it was the largest university library in Britain www.basilspence.org.uk/learning/buildings/edinburgh-unive....
The main library underwent a £60m redevelopment project which has been completed. Read more about it in this archived article from Celsius: libraryarchitecture.wikispaces.com/University+of+Edinburg...

Not quite the right camera or the right seat, but I did my best.
The library, featuring lots of places to sit, lots of books to read, a fireplace, games to play.
Years ago, I did a field school project for school where I visited historic spring-based resorts in Southern West Virginia and wrote recommendations on how to best use, preserve, and promote these historic resources (most of them underused, with the exception of the Greenbrier.) Some of the other students had other projects in the area, so we all traveled down together.
We stayed at Pence Springs, a historic resort with a fantastic history. The resort started out as a place for people to enjoy the healing spring waters, fell on hard times during the depression, became an all-girls boarding school, and when that too failed, became a WOMEN'S PRISON, which it remained for many years. When that closed, it was abandoned for a very long time, until it was rescued and restored, back into a resort. It was bought and sold a few times. Alas, now the (huge) property has been split up, and the hotel building itself is a private boarding school, no trespassing!
This makes me very upset, because I can truly say it was one of the nicest, most beautiful, most relaxing, fantastic experiences I have ever had, and it breaks my heart that I can't go stay there again.
Oh, by the way, I did try the water while I was there. It was very sulfurous, but I would say it was slightly invigorating! They had a cooler in the lobby that was filled with water from the spring for patrons to drink/try.

I added this cabinet between two existing built-in shelf units to house electronics and a wide, flat panel television. The red from the ceiling continues down this wall to frame the set.

Surprised to be able to see the M6 from up there!
"I along with some staff members, and volunteer students, have carefully started to collect the rain soaked books from the University Library, smoothly covering the books with my costly silk sarees, and transported them in lorries to Chaavakachcheri to be stored in a school. Sri Lankan army which was confined to the barracks during that period too came out to help us finding the rain soaked books. I bore the transport cost, which was later reimbursed. I think that, when libraries are targeted, the idea is to destroy entire culture, and to deny learning. There is a famous Tamil saying, that to look at one’s own reading is to know one’s mind and culture. It extremely hurts us. We love our books, and we lost most precious ones. There is no possibility of replacement. People of Jaffna love knowledge and learning. It is part of our culture. What was lost will remain lost to the people of Jaffna. We can add new books, but nothing can replace the old books, what was lost will remain lost forever”, painfully recalls Rohini Pararajasingam with tears.

VISUAL LIBRARIES - Leave your Mark.
A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
You can ‘Leave Your Mark’ in whatever way you want, ranging from drawing, writing, sewing, adding photographs, markings, printing and sticking. How you make your marks is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have fun with the different themes. Just borrow it on your library card with other books and materials. If you are not already a member, just ask the staff to help you.
45 Visual Library Books have been placed in Portsmouth Central Library and each has its own theme ranging from; Portsmouth, My City, When I Open My Eyes, Whilst I Was Waiting, Love, What’s in My Pocket and Memories. The intention is for you to feel free to explore the Visual Library Books and choose a theme that you like.
In Association with: Rhodia, Seawhite, Portsmouth City Council, University of Portsmouth, COPIC Pens

This library building used to be something else, something which needed a Big Safe! This library was closing when we arrived but there was time to grab a few cookies. We even saw someone in there getting her first library card!
I'm in love with this library on so many levels. First is the building itself, which was built in 1912 and is a perfect example of the arts and crafts period. Second, it was a gift from Andrew Carnegie, who lived and worked in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, and gave so many libraries to the country. Third, the interior is graced with warm old wood from the same period. Fourth, it's full of books! Beyond that are free wifi, excellent places to set up your laptop, a comfy fireplace grouping, friendly, helpful people, a kiddie splash area (outside, of course), and many more amenities. Just a wonderfully pleasant and inviting place to be.
