Interior of the Rotunda Hall in the National Library of Finland, Helsinki. Architecture by Gustaf Nyström from 1906.
Today I finished the Brooklyn Public Library's "Browse The Branches" challenge. Collecting a sticker for my booklet at each branch visited. It's been a lot of fun visiting all the different neighborhoods. Brooklyn Public Library has 62 branches and a bookmobile.
Each of the branches had something special about it and this one - the Stone Avenue Branch in Brownsville, Brooklyn was not only the last branch I visited but also one of my favorites.
The building was one of the last Carnegie libraries built in Brooklyn and opened in September, 1914. Originally it was the Brownsville Children's Library and believed to be the first library in the world devoted to serving children. On its 100th Anniversary in 2014 the branch underwent renovations. The back wall that can be seen in the photo is a Word Wall displaying Fry Words - the 1,000 words most used in reading and writing.
Geisel Library is on the campus of UCSD. It is named after Theodore and Audrey Geisel. Theodore Geisel is the creator of Dr. Seuss.
Last week I went on a short vacation with the family to San Diego. I got a chance to sneak out on Sunday morning and go up to UCSD to photograph. My intention was to photograph The Salk Institute and this the Geisel Library. To my misfortune the Salk Institute was closed but the Library was open for the taking.
I usually do all of my photography in black and white, but on this i decided to experiment with some color. So I am posting the color 1st and then I will post the Black and white.
Comparisons of the black and white and color as well as the Black and white and original will be posted to my Facebook page in the next few days.

I think we were there on a Saturday afternoon, but look at those Princeton students hard at work. There was not a free table in the place.

This high tech building which opened in 2013 has become a symbol of Birmingham. Designed by Francine Houben from Mecanoo architects it was built by the infamous Carillion. It is described as the largest cultural space in Europe and the largest Library in the UK. I don't know where that leaves the Pompidou Centre in Paris or The British Library in London.

A couple from Bristol's Central Library on College Green. I have only recently come to realise that this beautiful old fashioned reading room exists upstairs, after many years of visiting the duller ground floor. The spiral staircases up to the next level were, sadly, closed off, I would have loved to explore up there!
