Reputedly one of the largest libraries in Europe the new Library of Birmingham appears to have been positively received both critically and by the public. A year on from it's opening in 2013 its popularity has not waned and its form and detail is impressive to behold.
The exterior is almost entirely clad in a striking filigree of metalwork, a nod to the city's industrial heritage, whilst within are several layers of open spaces and reading rooms, along with roof terraces giving a fine view over the city.

Archiginnasio Municipal Library, Bologna 2009.
The Archiginnasio of Bologna is one of the most important buildings in the city of Bologna; once the main building of the University of Bologna, it currently houses the Archiginnasio Municipal Library.
The construction of the Archiginnasio dates back to the 16th century, when Piazza Maggiore was drastically remodeled under papal orders; the Fountain of Neptune was built during this same period.

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.
The Friendswood Public Library had it's own talent show called Friendswood's Got Talent and we had some of our very own citizens perform and show us what their talents are.
This library was divided into black and white with the collection space being black, to show off the collection, and the client spaces being white.
Collingwood Library was located in the northern portion of the Collingwood Town Hall once it was opened in 1887 and municipal functions moved here. Initially there was a subscribers' reading room and lecture hall on the ground floor and ladies' and men's reading rooms on the upper floor.
Collingwood Library became part of Carringbush Regional Library (Collingwood and Richmond Councils) in 1976 and moved around the corner to Stanton Street in July 1978. At the time of becoming part of the region, Collingwood Library consisted of a staff area at the front of the ground floor, a storage area under the stairs, and another one to the south of the adult library as well as the adult library. Upstairs were the children's library and associated workroom. The men's reading room had by that time become the Upper Supper Room.

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.
The library was built during the administration of OU's fifth president, William Bennett Bizzell. It is named in his honor.
Collegiate Gothic was an architectural style subgenre of Gothic Revival architecture, popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries for college and high school buildings in the United States.
Cherokee Gothic is a term coined by Frank Lloyd Wright for the vernacular architectural style on OU's campus. He invented the term while on a tour of the campus.

Construction of the Central Library of Rotterdam began in 1917 and finished in 1923. The building was designed by D.B. Logemann. The design of the building was influenced by the building style of the ‘Amsterdamse School'. As one of the few buildings to survive the second World War, it has great historic significance.

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
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to enjoy reading and opportunities to share the pleasures of reading for all ages
The John Rylands Library is a late-Victorian neo-Gothic building on Deansgate in Manchester, England. The library, which opened to the public in 1900, was founded by Enriqueta Augustina Rylands in memory of her husband, John Rylands.[4] The John Rylands Library and the library of the University of Manchester merged in July 1972 into the John Rylands University Library of Manchester; today it is part of the University of Manchester Library. Special collections built up by both libraries were progressively concentrated in the Deansgate building. The special collections, believed to be among the largest in the United Kingdom,[5] include medieval illuminated manuscripts and examples of early European printing, including a Gutenberg Bible, the second largest collection of printing by William Caxton,[6] and the most extensive collection of the editions of the Aldine Press of Venice.[7] The Rylands Library Papyrus P52 is believed to be the earliest extant New Testament text. The library holds personal papers and letters of notable figures, among them Elizabeth Gaskell and John Dalton.
The architectural style is primarily neo-Gothic with elements of Arts and Crafts Movement in the ornate and imposing gatehouse facing Deansgate which dominates the surrounding streetscape. The library, granted Grade I listed status in 1994, is maintained by the University of Manchester and open for library readers and visitors.
