More like a huge holding cell than library. The burly, thuggish-looking men in this photo were, alas, tourists, not prisoners. (The prison has been closed since 1963.)
Rather shiny library sign at Edinburgh University catching the autumn sun, seemed perfect for a B&W shot, so fired off a quick snap while the light was just so
Bishan Library is next t a bus and train interchange and a shopping centre. There are lots of people walking around. The children's area is in the basement, and the young adult area on the top floor. Like other Singapore public libraries visited, it had an excellent comic collection.

This library took my breath away (as did many of the rooms of the Fountainbleu Chateau). The level of detail and the over the top scale of everything was a bit overwhelming. Fountainbleu, France. Taken 6.22.13

Caption simply says "Snow N.E.". The sign on the building says "Belmont Public Library. Today there is a very different Belmont Public Library in Pittsburgh. I would have guessed that this is Boston or Cambridge, Massachusetts. Perhaps a surplussed building?

Photo by my grandfather David C. Cook. Undated, likely mid-40s.
Our dining room and book collection. In retrospect this room sure would look good with my full sized table hockey game occupying the corner, although we don't have many people to play it.

This is the Lawyers Library - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is directly across the street from the Library which I posted a sketch of earlier. Quite a contrast in styles.
On this sketch I drew inspiration from two of my favorite Flickr artists, Luis Ruiz and Florian Afflerbach.
Luis Ruiz recently posted a wonderful fish eye which I found particularly inspiring, so I though I would try it out myself. (see Luis' sketch)

Flaf has a wonderful way of treating the bottom of a lot of his sketches. This building has a lot of trees, shrubs and visual clutter at the base which I thought would take away from the purity of the architecture. So I "tried" to implement a technique I have seen Florian use many times, however I think less succesfully than he does. See Florian's sketch here...

A symmetrical library, it houses one of the largest and most important National Trust collections with over 8,000 books just in this room.
Tatton Park was owned by the Egerton family from 1598. During the 1770’s, Samuel Egerton commissioned the architect Samuel Wyatt to produce designs for a Neo-Classical Mansion house on the present site, but the first stage wasn't completed until after his death in 1791. Alterations were made to the Mansion in the 19th century. In the 1860’s an upper floor was added to the family wing.
The last Lord Egerton bequeathing the Mansion and Gardens to the National Trust on his death in 1958.
