HCLS First Public Library in Maryland to Add Living Books to Collection as part of The Human Library™
Howard County Library System (HCLS) will become the first public library system in Maryland to give its customers the opportunity to borrow Living Books. The Human Library™ will be open on Saturday, March 11 from 1 to 5 pm at HCLS Miller Branch located at 9421 Frederick Road in Ellicott City. Framed around the adage “Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover,” the new initiative encourages participants to look beyond stereotypes and engage in meaningful dialogue. The goal is to foster a positive framework where open, one-on-one, honest conversations lead to greater understanding and acceptance in the community.
The HCLS Human Library will include Living Books from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and identities. Among the books will be a United States veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, a transgender man, and a person living with Bipolar Disorder. Readers will sign up on a first-come basis to “borrow” the books at the Miller Branch, for a fifteen minute, one-on-one conversation to gain insight into their particular experiences and the often marginalizing stigma attached.
The Human Library is an international, innovative approach to challenging stigma, stereotypes, and prejudices through non-confrontational and respectful conversation. It is intended to be a welcoming, inclusive, non-partisan space where difficult questions are expected, appreciated, and answered. There is no political agenda. HCLS is striving to grow its collection of Living Books and expand the number of opportunities for readers to visit throughout the year.
The HCLS Human Library is part of this year’s Choose Civility initiative, Kindness Creates Community. It is presented in partnership with the Howard County Office of Human Rights and #OneHoward.

Library services are being relocated into the new Storyhouse building which opens to the public on the 11th May 2017. These pictures where taken during the last hour before the closing bell was rung and the front door locked.
The front facade of the library building is listed and so will be retained in the new northgate development which is expected 2019.

The Friendswood community gathered together to celebrate the library's official Grand Opening with a ribbon cutting and various activities throughout the day.
Built in 2002 in honour of the original library, it has space for eight million books and hosts a number of museums.
The original library was built by Alexander's general, Ptolemy I, after he claimed the country for himself following Alexander's death. The library's exact location and the means of its destruction around 30 CE is not known.
Library and community centre. Clear blue April day, sharp light, sharp gravel, no leaves yet, few flowers... but soon!
The visual impact of these very colourful frescoes is stunning. The frescoes tell the story of the life of Siena's favourite son, cardinal Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who eventually became Pope Pius II. He was the uncle of cardinal Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (then archbishop of Siena and the future pope Pius III), who commissioned this library in 1492 as a repository of the books and the manuscript collection of his uncle. The ceiling is covered with painted panels of mythological subjects. They were executed between 1502 and 1503 by Pinturicchio and his assistants.
Some of the library's history, excerpted from: whatcom.kulshan.com/Washington/Whatcom_County/Bellingham/...
"In 1890 a small group of people began the Fairhaven Reading Room in the Mason Building so men could 'spend a evening somewhere besides a saloon.' A child who grew up in Fairhaven could climb 3 flights of stairs to get a book; so in 1904 a new library was built. Andrew Carnegie promised $12,500, and the construction was begun. (He also promised some funds to begin a northern library because it was so difficult to travel between the two.) The same year he gave an additional $3,500 so the building could be opened that year. It was originally built of red brick on a concrete foundation. (The original brick can be seen at the rear of the building.) In 1974 the interior was remodeled and much of the woodwork was lost. Due to the diligence of the current librarian and the Fairhaven Friends of the Library the woodwork is being replicated and refinished. The imposing building can be credited to Carnegie."

Series of 6. This is the first time we've met the owners of a Little Library. It was wonderful !! We chatted about how books kept each of us going during Covid lockdown, general lifelong loving of books and the importance of reading. This neighborhood is Surfwood, on the east edge of Mendocino, on the hilly ridge, among redwood trees. I will surely print this series of photos and deliver them to this marvelous couple !.

The Young Adults who qualified got to spend the night in the library and watch all 7 Harry Potter movies and do lots of Harry Potter related activities.
I had the day off of work today, so a few of us got together at Adler Planetarium and then made our way to the University of Chicago. I shot inside the Harper Memorial Library for the first time. The student at the entrance to the library was very helpful. She took us up into the loft for a shot out over the library. The library has been converted into a reading lounge, but it is still a very cool location..
Don't forget to join me on March 10th for our second Out of Chicago photo walk. Hopefully we will be able to get into this location for one of our stops. It should be a fun night..
Joining me today were Tony Reynes, Howard Frank, Rick Seidel, and Jonathan Robson. Check out their Flickr sites to see their shots from today.
