The Bizzell Memorial Library is located at The University of Oklahoma (OU) in Norman, Oklahoma. It was built in 1928 in the Collegiate Gothic or Cherokee Gothic Style.

Refurbishment works at Thornton Heath Library are complete, and the word LIBRARY is now spelt out in 3-foot high bold letters on three sides of the pavilion roof, meaning that nobody passing by along Brigstock Road will be in any doubt as to what is inside.
The refurbishment is a major project which has cost £2.2 million, with £1.3 million won from The Big Lottery Fund contributing towards the works.
A major feature of the redevelopment is the pavilion extension to the front of the building, which not only provides a new accessible entrance but a relaxed seating area for library users to enjoy. The library has also gained two rear extensions to add space and incorporate a lift to the lower ground floor.
Local residents and library users have all been closely involved with the planning stages for this project, resulting in many new features being included in the design and management of the library.
The interior has been redesigned to the highest specification throughout. The remodelled space incorporates a community meeting room, an ICT learning room, an ICT suite and separate spaces for both a teenage and children’s library - all of which are new additions to the old building.
The building hasa garden and new public toilets - including baby changing facilities. There is comfortable seating and space to sit and read newspapers and magazines, improved study facilities and a refreshment area. Overall, the updated and modernised interior creates a light and airy atmosphere with sympathetic restoration of the original features.
Library services on offer include a homework help club, more public access PCs for adults, children and young people and family learning activities that support children’s educational development at times convenient for parents.
After school activities for children and young people are available, and there is a wider choice of books, DVDs and music for teenagers as well as a wider choice of books in community languages.
Activities for older people include learning opportunities for adults including support in accessing ICT, support for job seekers and support with basic skills

It used to be that library cards were card stock and had a little metal plate with a number stamped into it. Then they switched to plastic cards with bar codes to identify people. Now you don't even need a librarian to check out books. With this piece of technology you scan your card and then the books, and it prints out a receipt if you want one. Today I discovered you can check out material using your driver's license or state ID! How times have changed!

Library of Henry Clay Frick House.
The Frick Collection, near Central Park (5th Ave. & 70th) in New York City, is located in the home of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, who made his fortune in steel and then amassed an incredible collection of old master paintings and other European art.
The oak-paneled walls feature low custom bookshelves to give the paintings pride of place. On the right is a Gilbert Stuart oil painting replicating his original portrait of George Washington.
