VISUAL LIBRARIES - Leave your Mark.
A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
You can ‘Leave Your Mark’ in whatever way you want, ranging from drawing, writing, sewing, adding photographs, markings, printing and sticking. How you make your marks is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have fun with the different themes. Just borrow it on your library card with other books and materials. If you are not already a member, just ask the staff to help you.
45 Visual Library Books have been placed in Portsmouth Central Library and each has its own theme ranging from; Portsmouth, My City, When I Open My Eyes, Whilst I Was Waiting, Love, What’s in My Pocket and Memories. The intention is for you to feel free to explore the Visual Library Books and choose a theme that you like.
In Association with: Rhodia, Seawhite, Portsmouth City Council, University of Portsmouth, COPIC Pens

I'm in love with this library on so many levels. First is the building itself, which was built in 1912 and is a perfect example of the arts and crafts period. Second, it was a gift from Andrew Carnegie, who lived and worked in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, and gave so many libraries to the country. Third, the interior is graced with warm old wood from the same period. Fourth, it's full of books! Beyond that are free wifi, excellent places to set up your laptop, a comfy fireplace grouping, friendly, helpful people, a kiddie splash area (outside, of course), and many more amenities. Just a wonderfully pleasant and inviting place to be.
Nice library in this western (Fox Valley) suburb; it's an old Carnegie building with this newer addition.
Colin St John Wilson's 1979 Design for the British Library in London shines in late October sunshine. The British Library was formally opened by HM The Queen in June 1998. Since then it has become firmly established as a major addition to London's library, intellectual and cultural scene.
I had only seconds for this shot. I was in the grounds of the British Library, about to go home. I looked up and saw the library and the St Pancras Railway Station building glowing as the clouds parted and let the sun through. I took three photographs and bang - the light was gone again.
Monroe County Library, downtown Rochester branch. Atrium, arched bridges, and fisheye fun. Note that the upper bridge should be hourglass-shaped like the lower one, but the fisheye bend is overpowering the concavity of the upper rail!
The library is huge with much variation regarding the display and shelving of books. Here's a view of some stacks in the adult section.

This is the Hesburgh Library at Notre Dame. The Word of Life mural is undergoing maintenance this year. This was my first use of the Super Topcon 65mm lens on 4/5. I built an adapter lens board to hold the Horseman VH lens boards on the Speed Graphic. This lens was intended for the Horseman VH series cameras, however, its image circle will almost fill 4x5 (vignietting not shown here may have been from my yellow filter.) This is a late in the day photo. The lighting was not great, however, I wanted to test the new adapter.
Photographed on Kodak Tri-X 320 4x5 using a Graflex Speed Graphic. This was a test for a lens board adapter to adapt my Horseman VH-R lenses to the Speed Graphic Board. Here I used a Horseman Topcor 65mm lens at f/32.

Day 222 of 365 (Saturday) - My children LOVE the library. We often spend a couple of hours there, and it usually passes swiftly, and reasonably calmly. I don't know what it is about the place, but we just feel so relaxed there and enjoy escaping into a world of possibilities (such as the sewing book that I picked up, since when we are there it feels possible we might complete such a craft project at home). Even my youngest started getting interested in books. I was too busy soaking in the calmness that I didn't want to spend lots of time capturing the moment, but rather enjoying it. This kind of scene would never happen at home!
The new home of the Birr town library is in a refurbished former church building adjacent to St. Brendan's Roman Catholic Church. The library shares the building with Birr civic offices and the area's Tourist Information Office. Here we are looking from the second-floor book stacks down into the ground floor children's area.
