View of Powell library through the pillars of Royce Hall.
Love the details seen on the pillars along with the brick details. Too bad the sky is a bit overblown.

Title : Denver Central Library
Other title : Denver Public Library; Central Library
Creator : Michael Graves Architect; Klipp Colussy Jenks Dubois Architects; Hoyt, Burnham F., 1887-1967
Creator role : Architect
Date : 1956 (original stucture) 1995 (addition)
Current location : Denver, Colorado, United States
Description of work : Denver Central Library, the eighth largest library in the U.S., is located on Civic Center Park between the city's art museum and history museum in the Civic Center Cultural Complex. In 1995 a renovation of the existing 133,000-square-foot library, designed by Burnham Hoyt and completed in 1956, added an expansion of 405,000 square feet. The scale and coloration of the expansion, as well as the individualized massing of its components, allow the original library to maintain its own identity as one element of a larger composition. Two public entrances establish an east-west axis through the Great Hall, a three-story vaulted public room of urban scale, which is the focal point for visitor orientation and circulation. The south-facing rotunda contains specialized functional areas such as the reference room and periodicals center, with the Western History Reading Room above.

The Rococo library, situated at the back of the second floor, is truly the highlight of this palace, rivalling the grandeur of the library of the Melk Abbey in Austria. Built by Manuel Caetano de Sousa, this library is 88 m long, 9.5 m wide and 13 m high. The magnificent floor is covered with tiles of rose, grey and white marble. The wooden bookshelves in Rococo style are situated on the sidewalls in two rows, separated by a balcony with a wooden railing. They contain over 35,000 leather-bound volumes, attesting of the extent of western knowledge from the 14th to the 19th century. Among them, are many valuable bibliographical jewels, such as incunabula. These beautiful finished volumes were bound in the local workshop (Livraria) in the rocaille style (also by Manuel Caetano de Sousa).
Besides natural techniques of conservation for the books, such as the lack of space between the wall and the book (so it doesn't create humidity), there are also a few bats that inhabit this library eating any insect that could destroy this invaluable treasure.
The Library was used in Gulliver's Travels (1996) as the Great Chamber of War for the Emperor of Lilliput.

Chatsworth’s library is one of the house’s most important historic rooms, built up over centuries by the Devonshire family . It was shaped early on by Thomas Hobbes, then greatly expanded and reorganised by the 6th Duke of Devonshire in the early 19th century, when the Long Gallery was converted into the library space seen today The collection now includes over 17,000 books in the Library and Ante Library, and around 40,000 volumes in total, including Hobbes’s writings, Henry Cavendish manuscripts, medieval manuscripts, and early printed books.
Another library that now is the hub for lots of other activities. I think in Desborough's case (looking at the logos over the door) alongside the library this includes council services, fire, police and a sure start children's centre.
Unfortunately the opening hours are extremely short though, a couple of hours each weekday and on Saturday.

I stumbled across this library in phone box last year when on a walk in the cotswolds.
I only remembered about it today when I saw a story on the BBC News website, about another Gloucestershire village doing the same thing.....
