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!)

Johnston Library at 201 W. 10th Street in Baxter Springs Kansas. Built in 1872 and it was intended to be the County Courthouse but was never used for that purpose since Columbus got the county seat. It was used as the city hall until 1905. In 1905, Peter Nils Johnston, a Swedish immigrant, provided a bequest for the city to establish a permanent library in the building.

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 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.

Our first day in Casablanca, we visited the tallest Mosque in Morocco. The Moroccan art & architecture is a study in symmetry.
As one can imagine, I have tons and tons of photos to sift through. The bad news is, I dropped my D90 in Santorini, Greece -- on concrete. I could only take photos manually, and even then had trouble with focus and exposure.
The Library of Celsus is Ephesus's best known landmark, owing to the remarkable preservation of it's facade which, having collapsed at some point in the Middle Ages was meticulously pieced back together and re-erected in the late1970s (with a concealed stell frame to protect against further earthquake damage).
Ephesus is justly famed as one of the finest ancient Roman sites anywhere. The ruins of the city are extensive with many impressive monuments to amaze the visitor (that have often been partially reassembled to give an indication of their former glory and context).
Unfortunately the fame and popularity of the site means that, unlike most of the classical sites we visited elsewhere, it is constantly crowded with tourists. However the city has always attracted visitors, and among those who spent time here centuries ago were St Paul and St John (and possibly Mary herself if one believes in the authenticity of her nearby residence).
This library is run by Leeds libraries.

Library’s Spooky Spiders didn’t spook these kids!
At the Villa Park Library’s October 28th program on Spooky Spiders, 16 children and about a dozen parents and grandparents heard nature educator Karen Ritter describe, using spider puppets, how various spiders capture their prey and why insect-devouring spiders are generally beneficial to humans. The high point of the program--for the children--was the chance to hold some spiders (safely dead and enclosed within clear plastic blocks) in their hands. Here one boy compares the size of a tarantula with the size of his own hand. In general, the children were more anxious than the adults to hold the spiders.

In 1900 when Miss Mary Eliza Scranton offered the Madison Library Association the use of a new, completely furnished, library building which she had built on the corner of Wall Street adjoining her family’s old home. The offer was accepted, books moved in, and in 1901 the Association dissolved and the E.C. Scranton Memorial Library was incorporated.
The original library building was designed by Henry Bacon, an eminent New York architect who later designed the Lincoln Memorial. A New York firm of “contracting designers” was in charge of the architecture, construction, decorations and furnishings, the total cost of which was about $30,000.
The library was added to in 1989 and again in 2020 (along Wall St.)
