The Doheny Memorial Library on the campus of the University of Southern California opened in 1932. It’s still a destination and a draw.
John Rylands library is an imposing building with elaborate ceilings and imposing statues within. I had the opportuinity to visit it for the first time with a few mates and was struck by the beauty of the library. I will not cover the whats and the whyfor's of the building as it has been covered in intense detail by other Flickr contributors but felt I needed to post some photos as a memento of the visit. Forgive me if there are similar shots on Flickr but it is one of the most photographed buildings in Manchester.
David Walsh's extensive personal library is housed at MONA and can be accessed through this tunnel. Like all spaces inside MONA there are wonderful tricks of light and perspective, as can be seen to some degree in this shot.
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.

Went out hoping for a shot of the Capitol during Blue hour. As fate would have it, the Capitol was still under renovation making the shot I'd envisioned impossible. The Library of Congress, however, didn't disappoint.

This is the second floor of the BEAUTIFUL Multnomah County Library. In Portland Oregon.
It dates its existence from 1864, a time when Portland was a frontier town with frame buildings, muddy streets and few sidewalks. A small group of Portland citizens met to establish a subscription library and reading room, organizing under the name "Library Association of Portland."
And this is what was finally established, an incredibly fantastic piece of architecture. I almost break into song everytime I walk in but they SHUSH me.
SHHHH! SHHHHHHHHHH! I get sick of it.
