I love the MCAD library.
End of story.
I was there researching/writing a paper last night. Got it done pretty quick.
I love this section of the library, where they keep all the archived magazines, they're so colorful.
Did you know there's a "secret room" in the basement of the Central Library where extra copies and little used books live? Thanks to compact shelving we can fit more into a smaller space. Hard to believe our vibrant new Children's Room used to be filled with storage!

The Library of Birmingham is a public library in Birmingham, England. It is situated on the west side of the city centre at Centenary Square, beside the Birmingham Rep (to which it connects, and with which it shares some facilities) and Baskerville House. Upon opening on 3 September 2013, it replaced Birmingham Central Library. The library, which is estimated to have cost £188.8 million, is viewed by the Birmingham City Council as a flagship project for the city's redevelopment. It has been described as the largest public library in the United Kingdom, the largest public cultural space in Europe, and the largest regional library in Europe.

Shields Library, UC Davis. I have wanted to draw a curvilinear perspective sketch for a while and this very flat roofed but interesting building, which I've never managed tio get a good angle of to sketch, was the perfect choice at lunchtime. I had a lot of fun with this one! I've made it look a bit like a baseball stadium.
Notes from the Rethinking the Library event at the P'unk Avenue in Philly.
The place was packed with passionate people, who sent their ideas flying around the room about the unique institution of the American Library.
Some threads:

Confidentiality and libraries.
The library as a uniquely open institution.
The varying needs in different neighborhoods.
Defining the comparative advantage of libraries in the age of Amazon and Google.
Libraries as places where stuff is created.
The library as an outpost.
How central are books in the mission of libraries.
Innovation idea: charter libraries.

Taking a careful look at this two-year old photo I just discovered one of my Moleskine notebooks under the cd case. My version of "finding Waldo."
The "stacks" are the areas in the library in which books are stored. Here students come to find materials to reference for classes and for personal reading.
