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.
Check out the remarkable website for this museum, including a database of the collection and VR tours of each room with audio, at www.frick.org/

Appetizer Course: Human Library
Chefs, restaurateurs, food writers, and culinary school staff were on site at the Central Library to answer questions and provide brief mentorship sessions for attendees. This free program is modeled on the international concept known as the Human Library. The ‘books’ available for checkout included restaurateurs Chef Ryan Champion of Hotbox at Parkside, Marco Morosini of Silvertron Café, bloggers Jessie Merlin and Scott Doty of What to Eat In Birmingham, author Emily Brown of "Birmingham Food: A Magic City Menu," Chef Eryka Perry of Not Just Catering, and an instructor from Lawson State’s Culinary Arts program.
This is what happens when you don't have enough boxes for all your books - you have to pile them in the middle of the room so you can reuse the boxes. Note to self: next time you move, get more boxes!
In 1998, the construction of the new Library Link facilitated the ease of navigation between the Fondren Library East and the Science Information Center. The library complex consisting of Fondren Library East, Fondren Library West and the Science Information Center is now known as the Central University Libraries.
Also houses the Laura Bush Promenade, a walkway and garden area outside the Fondren Library Center made possible by a $250,000 gift to SMU from President George W. Bush in honor of his wife Laura's contributions to the advancement of libraries and literacy.
Edinburgh University’s Main Library opened in late summer 1967 and was designed by Sir Basil Spence’s architectural partnership Spence, Glover & Ferguson. Demolition work on the George Square site for the library began in November 1964. Many have never forgiven the university for redeveloping most of the original buildings in the square which dates from 1766. Basil Spence (1907-76) was appointed planning consultant for the university and was first asked to design a new library in 1955.
Described as ‘mannered modernism at its best’ in the Edinburgh volume of The Buildings of Scotland, the main library is ‘A’ listed. Originally it cost £2.1m (including £400,000 for furnishings and equipment). It accommodated two million books, with 2,500 reader places and 114 staff. At completion, it was the largest university library in Britain www.basilspence.org.uk/learning/buildings/edinburgh-unive....
The main library underwent a £60m redevelopment project which has been completed. Read more about it in this archived article from Celsius: libraryarchitecture.wikispaces.com/University+of+Edinburg...

"Completed in 1995, the 1560sqm Eltham Library is located in a community that prides itself on its artistic heritage and commitment to environmental issues. Pioneering artist and architect Justus Jorgensen established an artistic and cultural precinct Montsalvat in Eltham in the 1930s. In the 1940s Alastair Knox won historic approval to build in earth construction. Mud brick beame a defining feature of this area. The design reflects this heritage and incorporates many other challenges including existing trees, an historic building, overlooking from the main road and proximity to the railway line. Sustainable natural materials were used including earth, radially sawn and recycled timbers and copper panelling and flashing. The library is much enjoyed by its users and is a focal point for community activities."

Some of you may remember that well over a year ago I decided to build a library stepladder/chair. At that time I built a little one sixth scale model, to help work out the design problems. Then I re-drew the plans accordingly, but it was not until last summer that I felt able to take time and thought to starting on building the full-size version. I got all the main components cut out in May, but on account of important summer maintenance jobs needed on the house the task moved only slowly. Hardly had I got decently into the work when other events also intervened, leading to this being put aside completely for a further two months. Ultimately I went to work on it again in September when yes, it finally got finished. As I went along, I had made a complete photographic record of how I built this complicated and interesting piece Now, in the quiet time of winter, I am going to put up that record here on Flickr. For those of you who will be absolutely not interested in this project – fear not: I will intersperse this saga with the odd sketch or painting, which I am now also having time to do.
