This is what you can find at our library each Tuesday during the lunch hour. They bring in a local "dignitary" to read books aloud to the families, all who have sack lunches to munch while listening. This young man, who works at the boys and girls club, did an excellent job. Sorry you can't actually see my kids - it's just so you get a feel for what fun we have there.
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).
Today was mental (busy). Taking photos slipped down the list of priorities. I went to the library on the weekend and came home with a haul of on-loan literature.

Riverside Public Library (3581 Mission Inn Avenue) - Riverside's new downtown library was dedicated in March 1965. The building was designed by the Riverside architectural firm of Moise, Harbach and Hewlett. It replaced the Carnegie Library, built in 1903, which was demolished to make room for the new building.
10 December 1960.
This library was inside the building which had originally housed the Devonport Mechanics' Institute completed in 1849. This was opened as the Devonport Free Public Library on Monday February 6th 1882.
The library in this building, always subject to disruptive behaviour from young people, transferred to Devonport Guildhall in the 1980s.
It was closed in that building in 2009, to reopen in the former St Aubyn's church in 2010.

The Home Library Service is one of the most important services that Council provides. For people who love books, it is unimaginable to have to do without them simply because getting to the Library becomes difficult. Thanks to our Home Library Service volunteers and librarians, the Library comes to you!
Not only does the Library come to you but a new friend comes regularly with books that you like. It is not surprising that warm and deep relationships develop between the reader and the volunteer founded on a mutual love of books and as time goes by on other interests as well.
Happy Christmas to all Home Library Readers and their Volunteers & Librarians!
Our library books are coded with stickers; green for mysteries, orange for romances, white with a UFO for science fiction, white with a cowboy hat and boots for westerns and yellow with YA for young adult fiction. Regular fiction has no stickers and, of course, non-fiction has a Dewey decimal number, a coding system in itself.

Headed to the British Library for a post-work seminar on visualising health information, with Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer, and Professor David Spiegelhalter, professor of the understanding of risk at Cambridge university. It was chaired by Michael Blastland, who used to work for the BBC training journalists in understanding statistics. It was a fascinating discussion and very lively (though it perhaps doesn't sound it!). I took this on the way in. I actually really like the British Library building even though I know lots of people hate it, and I love the juxtaposition with St Pancras station. (and I love the word juxtaposition too!)
Denver Public Library, Green Valley Ranch branch was completed in 2011. Based on the theme of “Planes and Plains” this 26,000 square foot library brings its design inspiration from its close neighbor Denver International Airport and from the western plains that it is built on. This is a Family Style library, developed and organized to support parents and their young children, as well as to provide basic library services to the community.

The entrance to Rawtenstall Library was photographed in Summer 1975. This Grade II listed library, designed by Crouch, Butler & Savage, Birmingham and funded by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, first opened on 1 June 1907 and was extended in 1914.
The HEB Buddy came by the library to take pictures with the kids, and he brought along a helper who had snacks for the kids and read them a story!
The Library of Parliament (French: Bibliothèque du Parlement) is the main information repository and research resource for the Parliament of Canada. The main branch of the library sits at the rear of the Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, and is the last untouched part of that larger building's original incarnation after it burned down in 1916. The library has been augmented and renovated a number of times since its construction in 1876, the last between 2002 and 2006, though the form and decor remain essentially authentic. The building today serves as a Canadian icon, and appears on the obverse of the Canadian ten-dollar bill.
The library is overseen by the Parliamentary Librarian of Canada and an associate or assistant librarian. The Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate is considered to be an officer of the library.
