Dutch book trade label from Boek en kantoorboekhandel Kramer, LEESBIBLIOTHEEK, Winterswijk, The Netherlands. Leesbibliotheek means library. I collect these Dutch labels because i write a book about the private Dutch libraries. They are all gone now, since the 60/70's .
As a reward for reading during the Summer, the library has a special event for the kids at the city pool with swimming and hot dogs!
The Library of Celsus is Ephesus's best known landmark, owing to the remarkable preservation of it's facade which, having collapsed at some point in the Middle Ages was meticulously pieced back together and re-erected in the late1970s (with a concealed stell frame to protect against further earthquake damage).
Ephesus is justly famed as one of the finest ancient Roman sites anywhere. The ruins of the city are extensive with many impressive monuments to amaze the visitor (that have often been partially reassembled to give an indication of their former glory and context).
Unfortunately the fame and popularity of the site means that, unlike most of the classical sites we visited elsewhere, it is constantly crowded with tourists. However the city has always attracted visitors, and among those who spent time here centuries ago were St Paul and St John (and possibly Mary herself if one believes in the authenticity of her nearby residence).
You know you've been a townie for a long time when… you realize the "new" addition to the public library is 25 years old.
The proposal to replace the downtown library that voters turned down in 2012 might have been over-ambitious. But I've always been slightly bothered by the way the square bricks look on the top floors added in 1991. Visually they just seem "heavier" than the normal-sized brick of the 1974 east wing underneath. It's also a little weird that they protrude about 1/4" further out.
The opening of Rochdale's new Library was celebrated by all sorts of interesting people. But here are decorative art works in the children's and story-telling area.
Some of the uglier buildings will be hidden when the trees are leaved.

The figure on the Hall of Memory in Birmingham seems to contemplate, with horror, the rise of the new Birmingham Central library. This particular bronze commemorates the air force.
Anythink Libraries wanted to remodel their Washington Branch. In this case they were looking for a 3-5 year solution, knowing that there was the possibility of relocating this branch library in the near future. The budget was modest for construction. We were encouraged to reuse what we could and new items were purchase with the intent of moving with the library.
By doing the following we were able to open up the floor plan, exposing the whole library to natural light and outside views.
•Split up the functions of the one circulation desk into two smaller staff pods.
•Relocate the community room to the first floor
•Relocate the staff area to the first floor
•Removing all interior walls in the library, exposing exterior windows
•Weeding the collection allowed for lower stack heights
•Using the elevator lobby for the self check units
•Purchasing new multi-use furniture scaled to the size of a smaller library.
New carpet and paint added to the package. Anythink brought in their branding to make this library feel and function as their new libraries.
Group3 Planners created the layout of the library, interior design, construction documents, and selected the furniture.

Public Library, Southborough, MA. Restocking the shelves in the children's room after the July flood.
mmmmk. this is at my library. all the libraries in the county have these giant wooden book-statues, each one has a different story on it. This one is Alice in wonderland. Someone took a knife, and in the middle of the night, beheaded Alice's wooden-cutout self. someone did the same to me, i suppose.

By renowned practice Bradshaw, Gass and Hope, 1929-32. Rebuilt after war damage. Contemporary inter-war classical complex on wedge shaped site, consisting of D-plan Library and Registrar's Office with straight front to road, small Porter's Lodge to side and free-standing rectangular-plan Theatre (formerly Town Hall) to rear with curving colonnade corresponding to Library.
Cream sandstone ashlar. Oval portico in antis with Roman Doric screen and Town crest in cartouche supported by swag above cornice; octagonal lantern. Original glazed revolving door in timber case with pair of panelled leaves; fluted Ionic pilasters with dentilled cornice and anthemion frieze and cresting; plate glass fanlight with wrought-iron fleur-de-lys grille.
This extensive inter-war classical composition is set tightly on a prominent corner site and it is a major example of this building type for the period. It was a prominent public commission by a successful English practice (Bolton) who came to specialise in Methodist churches and civic complexes during the inter-war period. Bradshaw Gass and Hope's extraordinary output is comparable to that of Vincent Harris, with commissions for other civic complexes won at Wimbledon, Stratford, Lewisham, Luton and Chesterfield. The practice was responsible for the reconstruction after it was bomb-damaged in WW2.
Built on the site of North Leith Manse as a condition of Leith's final incorporation with Edinburgh.
This is the Library as it was a couple of weeks ago. We have come a long way in the past 6 months.
There is still a lot of work to do: air conditioning, lights, more Arabic books, a computerised index system, etc. However, you can see the progress we have made. I got a bit fed up with the meetings and took the approach that I'd tell people what I was going to do and then get on and do it (quickly) - if they didn't want me to do it, they'd tell me to stop...
Personally I find this quite rewarding - fighting the "War on Terror" (sic) with words instead of bullets.

Popplet rocks! This online tool helped me put my thoughts together. I think it will be a great tool for students to use, too! There are so many options...pdf, jpeg, online presentation, online collaboration. It should work well on the ipad too, though I have not set that up yet.

The HEB Buddy came by the library to take pictures with the kids, and he brought along a helper who had snacks for the kids and read them a story!
