My first attempt at putting digital information out into the physical library. Many students go straight to the shelves when they want information. By putting a touchscreen where the books are I hope that they might discover all that is available in digital format as well. The screen shows an article on the subject that is on this shelf, the Falklands war of 1982. I have set up a netvibes page with preconfigured searches in RSS and some useful pages on the subject. By touching the screen the students can access articles and webpages directly.
There is a printer at the end of the bookshelf so they can print out anything interesting they find.

The library of the Premonstratensian monastery at Strahov is one of the most valuable and best-preserved historical libraries – its collection consists of approximately 200,000 volumes. The oldest part of the library, the Baroque Theological Hall, was established between 1671 and 1674; the main Classicist vaults of the Philosophical Hall date from 1794 and are two storeys tall. Both halls are dominated by ceiling frescoes by Siard Nosecký and Anton Maulbertsch
The 1930's Co-op Emporium and Ballroom was converted to a library and opened by Harold Wilson in 1975. Concrete V-shaped mullions were added to the full height of the building but the bas-reliief decorations above the windows were retained.

Title: Ghent University Library
Other title: Universiteitsbibliotheek Universiteit Gent;Boekentoren
Creator: Velde, Henry Van de, 1863-1957
Creator role: Architect
Date: 1933-1939
Current location: Ghent, East Flanders, Flanders, Belgium
Description of work: The Ghent University Library's Book Tower (De Universiteitsbibliotheek Universiteit Gent Boekentoren) was designed in "the shape of a Greek cross, not as a religious symbol but rather to connect heaven and earth and to merge time and space." The Book Tower is 64 meters high, with 4 stories below ground and 20 stories above. The use of concrete as a building material was an innovation at the time and a demonstration of Van de Velde's use of modernity as a style. As a true modernist Van de Velde designed almost all of the details of the building, including furniture, window frames, floor patterns, doorknobs, radiator covers, and much more. Due to the outbreak of World War II certain materials had to be replaced, such as marble instead of rubber or linoleum for the floors, and the furniture was only partially produced The book tower housed the library's collection of approximately 3 million books until recent renovations relocated them to an underground repository. The building was designated a protected monument in July 1992. De Boekentoren University Library of Gt, www.boekentoren.be, Accessed 3/23/2015

The library has the distinction of being the oldest continuously operated library in the state of Florida. Local woman raised 580 dollars to build the library and rent the land near Lake DeFuniak for an annual rent of 25 cents. The library opened by the end of 1887. Yes, the sign has 1886 which conflicts with the library's information. Fund raising did start that year, so I guess it was counted in the "established".
The library is home to a collection of arms and armor owned originally by Palmer College's Professor Kenneth Bruce. He left the collection to the college in his will. When the college closed in the 1930s, the city became the recipient of the collection, which later gave it to the library. A large number of the weapons are European and from the era of the Crusades.
When it opened in 1907 it drew big crowds, forming a queue along Wimborne Road. It is very similar to Springbourne Library but with a few difference's in the stone work.
Minerva of Peaceby Elihu Vedder
Pictured on this mosaic in the arched panel is the Roman Goddess Minerva--guardian of civilization. She is portrayed as the Minerva of Peace, but according to the artist who created her, Elihu Vedder, the peace and prosperity that she enjoys was attained only through warfare. A little statue of Nike, a representation of Victory, similar to those erected by ancient Greeks to commemorate their success in battle, stands next to Minerva. The figure is a winged female standing on a globe and holding out a laurel wreath (victory) and palm branch (peace) to the victors.
Shield and Helmet: Although Minerva's shield and helmet have been laid upon the ground, the goddess still holds a long, two-headed spear, showing that she never relaxes her vigilance against the enemies of the country that she protects.
Scroll: Her attention is directed to an unfolded scroll that she holds in her left hand. On this is written a list of various fields of learning, such as Architecture, Law, Statistics, Sociology, Botany, Biography, Mechanics, Philosophy, Zoology, etc. Minerva is therefore also the Goddess of Learning, an activity that can thrive in a peaceful society.
Owl: On Minerva's right is an owl, symbolizing wisdom, perched upon the post of a low parapet.
Inscription: Beneath the mosaic is an inscription from Horace's Ars Poetica: Nil invita Minerva, quae monumentum aere perennius exegit, and translated as, Not unwilling, Minerva raises a monument more lasting than bronze
Bibliophile heaven. Financier Pierpont Morgan (1837-1912) collected books when he wasn't trying to control the world economy. Famous architect Charles McKim (1847-1909) designed the structure of a splendid library (1906) which has been meticulously restored and was re-opened to the public in 2010.
