"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.

Open3 does possess a few areas which are more study-focussed, such as the Newspaper area just to the side of Enquiry Desk and close to the Library Admin offices. Here we keep current and certain numbers of back-issues of the broadsheet national (and some international) newspapers for you to browse.

It's not clear why this photo was taken.

 

It shows the library unchanged from its opening in 1956.

the miller avenue library in Oakland has been abandoned for a few years, it seems.

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.

A picture of the original library in Joplin. It still stands at the corner of 9th and Wall Streets.

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.

The library of the Premonstratensian monastery at Strahov is one of the most valuable and best-preserved historical libraries – its collection consists of approximately 200,000 volumes. The oldest part of the library, the Baroque Theological Hall, was established between 1671 and 1674; the main Classicist vaults of the Philosophical Hall date from 1794 and are two storeys tall. Both halls are dominated by ceiling frescoes by Siard Nosecký and Anton Maulbertsch

Title: Ghent University Library

Other title: Universiteitsbibliotheek Universiteit Gent;Boekentoren

Creator: Velde, Henry Van de, 1863-1957

Creator role: Architect

Date: 1933-1939

Current location: Ghent, East Flanders, Flanders, Belgium

Description of work: The Ghent University Library's Book Tower (De Universiteitsbibliotheek Universiteit Gent Boekentoren) was designed in "the shape of a Greek cross, not as a religious symbol but rather to connect heaven and earth and to merge time and space." The Book Tower is 64 meters high, with 4 stories below ground and 20 stories above. The use of concrete as a building material was an innovation at the time and a demonstration of Van de Velde's use of modernity as a style. As a true modernist Van de Velde designed almost all of the details of the building, including furniture, window frames, floor patterns, doorknobs, radiator covers, and much more. Due to the outbreak of World War II certain materials had to be replaced, such as marble instead of rubber or linoleum for the floors, and the furniture was only partially produced The book tower housed the library's collection of approximately 3 million books until recent renovations relocated them to an underground repository. The building was designated a protected monument in July 1992. De Boekentoren University Library of Gt, www.boekentoren.be, Accessed 3/23/2015

The library at Wells Cathedral. Notice the books kept on chains to preserve them from theft. What a magnificent collection!
