A favorite book of mine by Carl Hiassen, which depicts Florida hurricanes and culture terrifyingly well.
Highly Recommended.
Today I finished the Brooklyn Public Library's "Browse The Branches" challenge. Collecting a sticker for my booklet at each branch visited. It's been a lot of fun visiting all the different neighborhoods. Brooklyn Public Library has 62 branches and a bookmobile.
Each of the branches had something special about it and this one - the Stone Avenue Branch in Brownsville, Brooklyn was not only the last branch I visited but also one of my favorites.
The building was one of the last Carnegie libraries built in Brooklyn and opened in September, 1914. Originally it was the Brownsville Children's Library and believed to be the first library in the world devoted to serving children. On its 100th Anniversary in 2014 the branch underwent renovations. The back wall that can be seen in the photo is a Word Wall displaying Fry Words - the 1,000 words most used in reading and writing.
The Rose Main Reading Room, New York Public Library, March 2017
Would love to return to the City to see this historic landmark once again...
The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!
Finally got to explore the gorgeous Halifax Library today. The best building in Halifax no question! It's taken me for ever and a day to visit it, but it didn't disappoint, more to come from here.

The first time I photographed the interior library was very easy. But now you need a permission
Geisel Library is on the campus of UCSD. It is named after Theodore and Audrey Geisel. Theodore Geisel is the creator of Dr. Seuss.
Last week I went on a short vacation with the family to San Diego. I got a chance to sneak out on Sunday morning and go up to UCSD to photograph. My intention was to photograph The Salk Institute and this the Geisel Library. To my misfortune the Salk Institute was closed but the Library was open for the taking.
I usually do all of my photography in black and white, but on this i decided to experiment with some color. So I am posting the color 1st and then I will post the Black and white.
Comparisons of the black and white and color as well as the Black and white and original will be posted to my Facebook page in the next few days.

I think we were there on a Saturday afternoon, but look at those Princeton students hard at work. There was not a free table in the place.

The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila. The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a mausoleum for Celsus, who is buried in a crypt beneath the library.
The interior of the library was destroyed, supposedly by an earthquake in 262 A.D and the façade by another earthquake in the tenth or eleventh century A.D. It lay in ruins for centuries, until the façade was re-erected by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978.
