Look at that carpet! Isn't it fantastic. This is from the entrance through to the fiction area. The library courtyard (great in summer) can be seen through the windows. The chair on the left is at the information desk.

John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester
The John Rylands Library, by Basil Champneys, 1890-99, a private commission by Rylands' widow Enriqueta. It cost £230,000, roughly £24,000,000 in today's money.
John Rylands was a wealthy entrepreneur employing 15,000 people in Manchester manufacturing textile goods. In the early days, much of the cotton was picked by enslaved people on plantations in the southern United States, although the Rylands family themselves owned no slaves or plantations, and the company also offered 'freely picked' alternatives to some of its products, which was considered unusual and enlightened at the time.
Nevertheless, Rylands was Manchester's first multi-millionaire, and one of the richest men in Europe. His activities as a philanthropist included paying for schools, orphanages, retirement homes and non-conformist chapels, as well as a number of public buildings in Stretford, including the Town Hall, although he never held any public office himself. He bankrolled the Manchester Ship Canal when it looked like the project might fail. When he died in 1888 his estate was valued at £2,574,922, roughly £270,000,000 in today's money.

Christina invited all of the young adult girls to a special all night slumber party. 29 girls total attended this fun event with games, snacks, and all night movies!
The library, featuring lots of places to sit, lots of books to read, a fireplace, games to play.
Years ago, I did a field school project for school where I visited historic spring-based resorts in Southern West Virginia and wrote recommendations on how to best use, preserve, and promote these historic resources (most of them underused, with the exception of the Greenbrier.) Some of the other students had other projects in the area, so we all traveled down together.
We stayed at Pence Springs, a historic resort with a fantastic history. The resort started out as a place for people to enjoy the healing spring waters, fell on hard times during the depression, became an all-girls boarding school, and when that too failed, became a WOMEN'S PRISON, which it remained for many years. When that closed, it was abandoned for a very long time, until it was rescued and restored, back into a resort. It was bought and sold a few times. Alas, now the (huge) property has been split up, and the hotel building itself is a private boarding school, no trespassing!
This makes me very upset, because I can truly say it was one of the nicest, most beautiful, most relaxing, fantastic experiences I have ever had, and it breaks my heart that I can't go stay there again.
Oh, by the way, I did try the water while I was there. It was very sulfurous, but I would say it was slightly invigorating! They had a cooler in the lobby that was filled with water from the spring for patrons to drink/try.

66 photos of the submarine U.S.S. Cod are viewable in my www.flickr.com/photos/mathersteve/albums/72157689282303805 album.
September 2017 unguided tour of the 1943 Fleet Submarine U.S.S. Cod. Floating at a harbor wharf, next to Burke Lakefront Airport in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Of all the submarines on display in the USA, the Cod is the only one “...boarded through the forward escape trunk, an airlock that allows crewmen to enter and leave the sub while she remains submerged.” A Because of this rather difficult entry, plus widely spaced wooden deck planks that trap canes, crutches and wheelchair wheels, the tour is not ADA Approved. www.usscod.org/

The most photogenic part of the BL. I brought Issey to the library to look at the Lindisfarne Gospels, after seeing Secret of Kells.
This is the Hesburgh Library at Notre Dame. The Word of Life mural is undergoing maintenance this year. This was my first use of the Super Topcon 65mm lens on 4/5. I built an adapter lens board to hold the Horseman VH lens boards on the Speed Graphic. This lens was intended for the Horseman VH series cameras, however, its image circle will almost fill 4x5 (vignietting not shown here may have been from my yellow filter.) This is a late in the day photo. The lighting was not great, however, I wanted to test the new adapter.
Photographed on Kodak Tri-X 320 4x5 using a Graflex Speed Graphic. This was a test for a lens board adapter to adapt my Horseman VH-R lenses to the Speed Graphic Board. Here I used a Horseman Topcor 65mm lens at f/32.

I'm in love with this library on so many levels. First is the building itself, which was built in 1912 and is a perfect example of the arts and crafts period. Second, it was a gift from Andrew Carnegie, who lived and worked in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, and gave so many libraries to the country. Third, the interior is graced with warm old wood from the same period. Fourth, it's full of books! Beyond that are free wifi, excellent places to set up your laptop, a comfy fireplace grouping, friendly, helpful people, a kiddie splash area (outside, of course), and many more amenities. Just a wonderfully pleasant and inviting place to be.
