When it opened in 1907 it drew big crowds, forming a queue along Wimborne Road. It is very similar to Springbourne Library but with a few difference's in the stone work.

At least it is in chalk. But with all the noise complaints we get, shouldn't the "library sleepers" be much less annoying than the "library cell phone talkers"? Maybe they are snoring. Or worse. Hmmm....
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 Central Branch of Vancouver Public Library resembles the Roman Colosseum in some ways. Completed in 1995, the building was designed by Moshe Safdie who was selected after winning a design competition.

The library of the Premonstratensian monastery at Strahov is one of the most valuable and best-preserved historical libraries – its collection consists of approximately 200,000 volumes. The oldest part of the library, the Baroque Theological Hall, was established between 1671 and 1674; the main Classicist vaults of the Philosophical Hall date from 1794 and are two storeys tall. Both halls are dominated by ceiling frescoes by Siard Nosecký and Anton Maulbertsch

The Jefferson Market Library was open to the public last 10.12.13 during Open House New York. Waiting time to go up was about an hour and you have to climb 149 steps up the spiral staircase, but it was so worth it. Great views of Manhattan from up the tower!
Lamont Library was "the first university library building in the United States specifically planned for undergraduates."
The library at Wells Cathedral. Notice the books kept on chains to preserve them from theft. What a magnificent collection!
In the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University.
The books and manuscripts are kept in the climate-controlled, restricted-access core. The outer walls are composed of panels of thin Vermont marble, thin enough for sunlight to shine through and reveal the grain, veins and patterns in the marble.
In between the two structures is an area accessible to the public, with both permanent and rotating exhibits. On permanent display is a Gutenberg Bible and Audubon's original "Birds of America" (surprisingly large!). The temporary exhibit that I saw was of illustrated texts on alchemy. A subsequent exhibit that I wish I had gone back for was on early astronomical texts.
