Library of Celsus, Ephesus. Notice the hybrid Roman capital on an unfluted column, combining the Greek Ionian and Corinthian styles: Rome proclaims itself a new world order that surpasses all that was ancient Greece.

More of the gorgeous library. Has an amazing collection including a stuffed dodo from the 17th century.
Looking north you can see the teen collection on the left, adult fiction to the right, and ahead are the other two unfiltered Internet stations. Beyond that is the front patio.

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."

Beautiful library in my neighborhood.
Here's a great bio:
The fourth of the original Carnegie libraries in Nashville, East was praised as an "architectural gem" when it opened on May 8, 1919. Having survived floods and tornadoes, East was beautifully restored in 2000 to reverse modern renovations made in the 1960s. The building features a limestone exterior, a marble foyer, large chandeliers, oak tables and chairs and many other special features. East Branch is a Metro Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
