Refurbishment works at Thornton Heath Library are complete, and the word LIBRARY is now spelt out in 3-foot high bold letters on three sides of the pavilion roof, meaning that nobody passing by along Brigstock Road will be in any doubt as to what is inside.
The refurbishment is a major project which has cost £2.2 million, with £1.3 million won from The Big Lottery Fund contributing towards the works.
A major feature of the redevelopment is the pavilion extension to the front of the building, which not only provides a new accessible entrance but a relaxed seating area for library users to enjoy. The library has also gained two rear extensions to add space and incorporate a lift to the lower ground floor.
Local residents and library users have all been closely involved with the planning stages for this project, resulting in many new features being included in the design and management of the library.
The interior has been redesigned to the highest specification throughout. The remodelled space incorporates a community meeting room, an ICT learning room, an ICT suite and separate spaces for both a teenage and children’s library - all of which are new additions to the old building.
The building hasa garden and new public toilets - including baby changing facilities. There is comfortable seating and space to sit and read newspapers and magazines, improved study facilities and a refreshment area. Overall, the updated and modernised interior creates a light and airy atmosphere with sympathetic restoration of the original features.
Library services on offer include a homework help club, more public access PCs for adults, children and young people and family learning activities that support children’s educational development at times convenient for parents.
After school activities for children and young people are available, and there is a wider choice of books, DVDs and music for teenagers as well as a wider choice of books in community languages.
Activities for older people include learning opportunities for adults including support in accessing ICT, support for job seekers and support with basic skills
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to enjoy reading and opportunities to share the pleasures of reading for all ages
This Library from an old house is along Ocoee Street just a couple of blocks north of the town Square. It's either part of or next door to Lee University.
Some of you may remember that well over a year ago I decided to build a library stepladder/chair. At that time I built a little one sixth scale model, to help work out the design problems. Then I re-drew the plans accordingly, but it was not until last summer that I felt able to take time and thought to starting on building the full-size version. I got all the main components cut out in May, but on account of important summer maintenance jobs needed on the house the task moved only slowly. Hardly had I got decently into the work when other events also intervened, leading to this being put aside completely for a further two months. Ultimately I went to work on it again in September when yes, it finally got finished. As I went along, I had made a complete photographic record of how I built this complicated and interesting piece Now, in the quiet time of winter, I am going to put up that record here on Flickr. For those of you who will be absolutely not interested in this project – fear not: I will intersperse this saga with the odd sketch or painting, which I am now also having time to do.

This is where you come upon abandoned mines. Sometimes including an abandoned vehicle. And here, we found an abandoned mine vehicle with absolutely no trace of a road anywhere in sight.

A woman working on her laptop with the Harvard University library behind her. The Internet has changed our concepts about reading and research forever, and libraries will probably never regain the importance they had in students' lives for centuries.
