This library was opened in 1902, then extended and re-opened in 2010. There is lovely detail in the stained glass and stone carving.
Inside, the computer/study room was absolutely packed, and there was lots of activity in the children's library

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."

I think the differences in the light are because the light came from two sources. The area in the foreground was natural light while the area in the background was artificial light.

Architect not found, but plainly the work of the Johns, Slater Haward partnership; or, if not, a remarkably well-observed copy of their house style of the late 1950s. It bears a strong resemblance to their Sprites Schools, Ipswich, completed in 1960. Outside, triangular groups of wooden and metal rectangular frames fill to lift the geometric roofs. Internally, a typical JSH motif, the jolly wooden framing in the shape of a ship's hull. The pendulous lights may well be original.
All that is missing are the cheerful Bernard Reynolds sculptures that were often integrated into the structure of their buildings at this time. However, the concrete trellis forming the porch adds the required jaunty touch.

The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honor of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila (consul, 110 AD). Celsus had been consul in 92 AD, governor of Asia in 115 AD, and a wealthy and popular local citizen. He was a native of nearby Sardis and amongst the earliest men of purely Greek origin to become a consul in the Roman Empire and is honored both as a Greek and a Roman on the library itself. Celsus paid for the construction of the library with his own personal wealth.
The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a monumental tomb for Celsus. Celsus is buried in a sarcophagus beneath the library, in the main entrance which is both a crypt containing his sarcophagus and a sepulchral monument to him. It was unusual to be buried within a library or even within city limits, so this was a special honor for Celsus.

Every child who has come into the library over the last month has put a seed on our sunflower with their name on or the name of someone they care about. It looks incredible. One of our young volunteers drew it so that it is in a Fibonacci spiral. One small boy did a seed for his friend "because he is on crutches and I think the seed will help" - almost like lighting a candle for someone.
