Ungewöhnlich präsentiert sich die Bibliothek des kleinen Städtchens Alcobaca mit den beiden Wächtern, die ein grosses eisernes Herz flankieren...
Was es bedeuten soll, habe ich mich schon gefragt.
Ist Bildung eher Herzensangelegenheit?
Macht Lesen kopflos? ;-)
I lost count of the years I last stepped into a library.
This library is pretty cool with the modern architectural design.
Established in 1848 as the first municipal library in the country.In 1986 National Park Services designated the building a National Historic Landmark.

The Downtown Library is covered with an interesting metal skin that reflects. Can't believe I haven't shot this with the focus on the pattern before.

Wasn't my original idea, but it turned out much better than the way my original idea was shooting.
Shot in the last 5 minutes before we left work.

I visited a library known for its unique architecture in Gifu city, Japan. The wooden ceiling design and translucent canopies were very impressive. There are Starbucks and a convenience store downstairs. I can spend a whole day here.

The historic Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library contrast with the modern glass-domed atrium that floods the building with natural light features a rooftop terrace that offers views of the city and a dedicated children's area with a large book collection and often hosts events and activities for children.

Chaining books to the bookcase used to be common practice to stop pilfering in libraries. This is however the largest remaining in tact chained library. It dates from the 17th Century but the books go right back to the 8th Century.
Hadrian's Library was created by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132 on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens.
The building followed a typical Roman forum architectural style, having only one entrance with a propylon of Corinthian order, a high surrounding wall with protruding niches (oikoi, exedrae) at its long sides, an inner courtyard surrounded by columns and a decorative oblong pool in the middle. The library was on the eastern side where rolls of papyrus "books" were kept. Adjoining halls were used as reading rooms, and the corners served as lecture halls.
