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.
Walked uptown to the library today. Brought a drive with 80GB of data for YouTube but uploaded only one 4 GB file. dennissylvesterhurd.blogspot.ca/2015/09/uploaded-single-h...
OK. I'm trying for that "zen" thing. Simple. Form. Line. Light. Hmmm... maybe simplicity isn't my cup of tea...
AA Gymnastics visited the library again and showed off their moves! At the end of the program kids from the audience got a chance to try out some of the training equipment to flip over backward!

I guess I can make this shot & the Cinema I & VI a "guess the city" (but don't if you know from me where I visited). Well, it's more of a identify-if-you've-been-there city, kind of hard to guess...

Description of work: Located between the Vistula River and the Warsaw Escarpment on a culturally and ecologically significant site, the library's design is based on a "city in the woods" concept and was the winning entry of the 1993 design competition for the building. The library is built within the existing topography of the landscape (two levels below grade and two levels above grade) and is constructed of reinforced concrete, steel, glass, and pre-patinated copper. The building's 5,000 square meter green roof is watered by a stormwater irrigation system and contains four thematic gardens, each of which is surrounded by massive skylights and connected by steel bridges. The roof gardens provide expansive views of the city and are integrated into the adjacent University Public Garden by grand staircases and linear water channels. "The library's interior is divided both functionally and physically by a glass enclosed street arcade, which serves to separate and connect the library stacks andleased commercial space.The copper facade along Dobra Street displays eight [4x7 meter] copper tablets containing six different alphabets, mathematical and chemical equations and musical and literary concepts."

Clifford Whitworth Building, Salford University. Information Facilities or Library in plain English.
Old Dandenong Library during the relocation from the old site in Stuart Street to the new one in the Walker Street municipal building.
The last day of operation at the old site was Sunday March 2 2014 and the first day at the new site was Monday March 17. During this period a shuttle bus operated to the council's other library in Springvale.
Removal van taking a load of books to the new site.
taken after sunset, but with an eight-second exposure, so the sky turned out a crazy blue. :)
i just learned about "bracketing." yes. i'm a newbie. but bracketing? holy good god, the coolest thing ever.
Back across the dual carriageway we find Blomfield’s 1906 domed public library on Free School Lane with the fun Jacobean co-operative opposite and streetscape pierced by St Swithin’s spire.
The interior of the Library of Celsus, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey, 25 October 2009. The library was completed in the c.120-130 AD and was the third largest in the Roman Empire after Alexandria and Pergamum. Its contents and much of its fabric was destroyed by the Goths in 263 AD and the facade collapsed after an earthquake in the 10th Century. It was re-erected in 1970-78. Ephesus was first established on the site of a Hittite settlement (Apasa) on Ayasuluk Hill by Attic and Ionian Greeks in the 10th Century BC. In c.300 BC the population moved from the hill to a new, coastal location (of the present ruins) founded by Lysimakhos, one of Alexander the Great’s generals. In 129 BC Ephesus, as part of the Greek Kingdom of Pergamon, fell to the Romans and subsequently became capital of the Roman Province of Asia Minor. However, in 263 AD the city was destroyed by the Goths. Although rebuilt, its port began to silt up and then in 614 AD Ephesus was destroyed by an earthquake. Despite being rebuilt again, sackings by Arabs in 655, 700 and 716 and the continuing silting up of the port resulted in the populace gradually moving back to Ayasuluk Hill.

The library was organized as early as 1890, moving into its own building in 1904.
The Swanton Library was originally a Pest House that was only used once soon after was turned into what is probably the worlds most tiny Library. It was a functioning Library with books and no Librarian until a few years ago when all the books were moved to the gymnasium.
Betty Krajnik, a retired school teacher, continues to provide the local children with a "Story Hour" every Wednesday which she has done since 1975. She would often hold Story Hour in the historic Library until the early 80's, Children look forward to Story Hour which is now held in the Fire Hall across the street.
