Stoke Library closed in December, 2008 after concerns over poor disabled access to the building and relocated to the one-stop shop in the town centre. The old library was used for office workers.
The grade II-listed building was designed by Charles Lynam as a purpose-built library and Shakespeare Institute and first opened in 1878.
"The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus and completed in 135 AD." - Wikipedia
Here's a link to my YouTube video on Selcuk and Ephesus.

The library in Canterbury cathedral. Open today as part of the heritage open house weekend. Unfortunately, no photography allowed inside (but I did buy their postcard) - shame, as there were lots of interesting things to see, including an almost complete parish library, old writing desks and the victorian iron roof trusses cast wonderful shadow patterns on the walls. The talk was fascinating and there were lots of books from the collection laid out.
I used some of the filters in photoshop to turn my drawing of books (below) into the final abstract of the swirled library books.

Thompson Library had been closed for the last couple years for renovations while I had been visiting my daughter and her fiance in Columbus. It was reopened this past year and we got to visit it. Lovely and amazing to say the least!! I did not get to use it over a couple of days so I have no idea if it is functional or not. But those stacks! Oh my! Please UIUC take a look and do *something*!

Central Library, Surrey Street, Sheffield.
Albert Hall, Sheffield.
Grand Evening Concert, 27 February 1894.
Madame Patey's Farewell.
The Albert Hall stood in Barker’s Pool on the corner of Burgess Street. The site is, in 2019, occupied by John Lewis. It was built on the site of the former Quaglen’s Circus. Built to the designs of architects Flockton & Abbott, it opened as a concert hall on 15th December 1873.
During the night of 14th July 1937 a disastrous fire gutted the building and the burnt out remains were left standing for a few years. A new Gaumont cinema to the designs of architect WE Trent was planned, but never materialised. During the 1930s when the new City Hall was being built across the road, it was proposed to remove the Albert Hall’s organ and place it in the new City Hall, but this never happened and the organ was lost in the fire. After the Second World War the land was bought by Sheffield Corporation as the site for the new law courts but these were never built here and in 1963 Cole Brothers Department store (a subsidary of the John Lewis Partnership) was built on the Albert Hall site.
Janet Monach Patey (1842-1894) was a London-born contralto singer who achieved a considerable reputation as a concert performer and in oratorio. By 1870 she had succeeded Mme Sainton-Dolby as principal English contralto, a position she was to hold until her death in February 1894.
I note she died on 28 February 1894 which was the day following this concert. I assume she did not appear. Did the concert go ahead?
Guess who came to town? Santa Claus! He was kind enough to work the library into his busy schedule for a story and pictures with all the kids!
The Friday activity for this week was Pictionary! These kids are so creative and talented. It was a blast to play with them!

The library was honored to have astronaut and Friendswood resident Jerry Ross speak to a full house yesterday evening at the Friendswood Public Library. Jerry provided fascinating information regarding his wonderful new book Spacewalker: My Journey in Space and Faith as NASA’s Recording Setting Frequent Flyer. Using PowerPoint and narrating his own video footage Jerry gave audience members a vivid look into the world of astronauts and their work with the Space Shuttle and Space Station. Jerry also took time to answer numerous audience questions.
