State Library Victoria opened in 1854 as the Melbourne Public Library, making it Australia's oldest public library and one of the first free libraries in the world. It is also Australia's busiest public library and, as of 2023, the third busiest library globally.

This is a completely changed photo of the Salt Lake City library from the outside. I really messed with this photo, for Slider's Sunday Group.
Edited in Topaz ReStyle, one of their vintage programs.
See original in first comment.
HSS everyone! Happy Slider's Sunday!
"La majoria dels nostres problemes es poden resoldre.
Alguns d'ells requereixen cervell,
alguns d'ells paciència,
i tots els haurem de lluitar
com fa un caiman en un pantà."

I was fortunate to travel to the East Coast with 8th graders for 18 years. We started in Boston
and ended in Washington DC. I'm working on a book of images from our trips.
Stopped in the other day to checkout the ponds and they had put up a fence so decided I couldn't walk back to the sidewalk and then climb back up the hill so just took the fence and came on home.. Happy Fence Friday, Everybody!!
This beautiful library was built in memory of Shiba Ryōtarō, a literary hero in Osaka. It houses 20,000 of his 80,000 book collection, and the shelves are 11 metres tall!
We're currently waiting out typhoon Vongfong, which is passing by Osaka with less ferocity than first thought, but the streets are still deep in water.
Fortunately we're holed up with plenty of good food and drinks

I took this photo of the Vatican Library at the Vatican in Italy not long ago. The art and paintings were incredible!
The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!

What palace without a library and how nice would be to read in this library.
To be honest most of the time I would be distracted by the looks of it rather than reading ;)
Built for the State Library of South Australia and is a fine example of a Victorian library in the Australian colonies. North Terrace Adelaide.

Another colourful sunset over the Lake at Benalla looking towards the Library along the foreshore.
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.
