Library’s Spooky Spiders didn’t spook these kids!
At the Villa Park Library’s October 28th program on Spooky Spiders, 16 children and about a dozen parents and grandparents heard nature educator Karen Ritter describe, using spider puppets, how various spiders capture their prey and why insect-devouring spiders are generally beneficial to humans. The high point of the program--for the children--was the chance to hold some spiders (safely dead and enclosed within clear plastic blocks) in their hands. Here one boy compares the size of a tarantula with the size of his own hand. In general, the children were more anxious than the adults to hold the spiders.
Just about to pop in for a nose, as I'd never been inside before. The library, accesed via the entrance beneath the brown sign, has had a lengthy revamp, costing approx £55M, I gather. Last time I was in the vicinity, at least 18 months ago, it was all hidden from view by hoardings.
The contrast of old and new is very well done. What's wonderful, is that you can climb all the stairs [lifts available too] to the roof for a free view!

Geisel Library, University of California, San Diego
Architect: William Pereira
Built: 1970
Location: La Jolla, CA
Title: Campusbibliotheek Arenberg
Other title: Campus Library Arenberg; Celestine Priory
Creator: Moneo, Jose Rafael; Keldermans, Rombout, d. 1531
Creator role: Architect
Date: 1521-1526 (Monastery built) 2002 (Restoration complete)
Current location: Heverlee, Vlaams-Brabant, Flanders, Belgium
Description of work: In January of 1997 the Katholieke Universiteit (Catholic University) located in Leuven (Flemish)/Louvain (French) held a competition for the renovation of the vacant Celestine priory, in nearby Heverlee, and its conversion into a library for four departments: Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences, Sciences, Engineering and Bio-engineering. Since its closure in 1783 the monastery had been utilized in a variety of ways. In the 19th and early 20th centuries the building was a stable for the nearby Castle Arenberg and from 1925 to 1984 it was a test station for plant breeding. Spanish architect Rafael Moneo embraced Rombout Keldermans II's original monastery architecture by incorporating new construction that enhanced (and found new use for) the old (Langouche, Guido ed. The Celestine Priory at Leuven: From Monastery to Library. Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2005). The addition connects opposite sides of the former monastery's courtyard which creates new outdoor spaces. The concave exterior walls on the top floor are mirrored by convex walls on the addition's opposite side (which faces the cloister garth) and by interior convex detailing that houses some of the entry hall's lighting.
Description of view: An original monastery brick wall is part of the interior space surrounded by concrete columns, stone floor and convex ceiling forms
