This week Karen took over Christina's young adult activity and hosted a catapult building contest! There were a lot of creative designs and some launched a plastic ball all the way across the room!
"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."

"The 1918 Sterling Public Library is associated with the nationwide public library movement sponsored by Andrew Carnegie. The dark brown and tan brick building was the town’s first public library and typifies the basic design standards first set forth by the Carnegie Corporation in 1911 for small community libraries funded by the company."--Description from the History Colorado website.
At least it is in chalk. But with all the noise complaints we get, shouldn't the "library sleepers" be much less annoying than the "library cell phone talkers"? Maybe they are snoring. Or worse. Hmmm....
Day 222 of 365 (Saturday) - My children LOVE the library. We often spend a couple of hours there, and it usually passes swiftly, and reasonably calmly. I don't know what it is about the place, but we just feel so relaxed there and enjoy escaping into a world of possibilities (such as the sewing book that I picked up, since when we are there it feels possible we might complete such a craft project at home). Even my youngest started getting interested in books. I was too busy soaking in the calmness that I didn't want to spend lots of time capturing the moment, but rather enjoying it. This kind of scene would never happen at home!
A bit of a messy composite of 3 shots to get it all in - it really is quite big. I couldn't get enough of Aldershot Library when I was a kid.
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.-McGill Library at Westminster may have the front door closed because of construction on the front steps, but the library is open.
Re-stepping at McGill Library
The reconstruction project of the front steps continues through the summer, but library officials want everyone to know McGill is open. You can enter the building from Market Street during regular library hours: Monday-Friday 9- 4.

McGill Library, built in the Collegiate Gothic style, opened on campus in 1938. It is named after Ralph Gibson McGill (1902). McGill was a missionary to Egypt. He drowned in the Mediterranean while trying to rescue children.
McGill Library was rededicated in 2008 after a $6.2 million renovation project. That project included: installation of compact shelving for books and periodicals on the ground floor; relocation of the main entrance and construction of a handicapped-accessible lift; creation of the Williamson and the Drinko Rooms; repair and renovation of the Ferguson Room, including refinishing of vintage 1930s solid oak chairs and library tables; and relocation and renovation of the computer lab.
The Central Branch of Vancouver Public Library resembles the Roman Colosseum in some ways. Completed in 1995, the building was designed by Moshe Safdie who was selected after winning a design competition.

I was asked to make a cake for one of the ladies I work with for her 60th birthday she wasn't very forthcoming in ideas and then decided to combine it with another colleague who was turning 50. As they are both librarians I decided to go with the books. Then I had this fab idea to turn it into a trick cake turn it one way and it's the cake for the 50th, turn it around and it's the cake for the 60th!
This attempt at books was better than my first attempt last year but still needs refining, thanks to Trudi and Pam who helped me figure out how to get the books to stand! ;D
