I was in school this morning, doing Vision Screening for children in JK and knew I would be able to find something different for today's challenge there. This was the sign on the door to the school library.
Continuing my quest to photograph all public libraries in Kent, today I filled in a few gaps from the north east corner. A curious find tucked high on a wall in Sandwich library is a 13th century lancet window. The sign isn't sure what building it was originally part of - known as the Priory, but there is limited evidence about the actual history.
A collection of photographs taken on the 22nd November 1987 at the Surfest '87 event held at Newcastle Beach, Australia.
Surfest '87 was also known as "The BHP Steel International" and ran from 14th-22nd 1987.
The images were shot by Chris Patterson for Hannan Photography, who were engaged to record the event by Peach Advertising on behalf of the Surfest sponsors B.H.P. (The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Ltd).
The images were scanned from the original 35 mm colour negatives, at 3200 dpi using an Epson Perfection V700 Scanner. They comprised sheets labeled under the original numbering sequence of CN7560. (CN=Colour Negative) One sheet comprises black and white negatives.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).

Neat war memorial with fence decorated with poppies, and Remembrance bench outside this library. Bigger than it looks - it is 'L' shaped with a long section out back, it was busy for a Saturday morning - with teens just hanging out, people using the computers, and some just reading

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."

Blink and you miss it. Totnes library is behind the door at the left marked 27a. Tardis like, it is much bigger inside.
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.

The library hosted a Doctor Who party to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the show being on the air. We had themed snacks, games, crafts, trivia, costume contest, and even a thrilling Cyberman game outside!
Looking at part of the Library that has just been refurbished. A few months a go I would have been standing exactly where the lending desk was.
Now there is no lending desk, though we have a 'information hub' just the other side of the wooden slates on the left for enquires etc.
The seats on the left are based on the original Basil Spence Seats (Spence designed the furniture as well as the building).
In the distance you can just make out the blue lights of the exit gates (using RFID technology).
At the top of the picture you can see a Window, this look from a upper floor room (currently the IT teaching room... not for much longer) on to this light well. When the building was first built the window would have been an external one, the light well and where the picture was taken would have all been outside, at the back of the building (the fact you can see the exit gates and the original back of the building gives you an idea of how thin the original building was).

From the collection of Christchurch City Libraries
"In 1853, the decision to build a state library was made at the instigation of Lieutenant-Governor Charles La Trobe and Sir Redmond Barry. A competition was held to decide who would design the new building; local architect Joseph Reed, who later designed the Melbourne Town Hall and the Royal Exhibition Building, won the commission.
On 3 July 1854, the recently inaugurated Governor Sir Charles Hotham laid the foundation stone of both the new library and the University of Melbourne. The library opened in 1856, with a collection of 3,800 books chosen by Sir Redmond, the President of Trustees. Augustus H. Tulk, the first librarian, was appointed three months after the opening.
The first reading room was the Queen's Reading Room (now Queen's Hall), which opened in 1859. Temporary buildings built in 1866 for the Intercolonial Exhibition remained in use by the library until 1909, when work began on a new annexe building to mark the library's Jubilee. This new building was the landmark Domed Reading Room, which opened in 1913 and was designed by Norman G. Peebles" - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Library_of_Victoria
