Trash, ladders and tools have taken the place of books, magazines and records in the Conejo Valley Library - for the time being. The building is torn up now so that its space can be nearly doubled during the next six months. News Chronicle Collection. 04-23-1967_2a. CTO_318

As traditional libraries close, they are being replaced with old telephone boxes where people can leave and borrow books. As an ex-librarian, I find this trend rather depressing.

Title : Turku Main Library
Other title : Turun Kaupunginkirjaston Paakirjasto
Creator : Wrede, Karl August (1859-1943); JKMM Architects; Jaaksi, Asmo; C & Co Architects
Creator role : Architect
Creator 2 : Meuronen, Paivi

Date : 1903 (old library building) 2007 (new library building) 2008 (old library building renovations)
Current location : Turku, Varsinais-Suomi, Finland
Description of work : The Turku Main Library is a complex consisting of the old governor's residency (rebuilt after 1827, now a cafe and meeting rooms) and the old (also known as the Bibliotheca) and new library buildings. All the buildings are linked by the glass-walled periodicals reading room and are arranged around an open courtyard within which is the cafe. A lack of interior dividing walls allows the interior design to be flexible and accommodate future changes in needs. The roof is supported by thin concrete columns that complements the openness achieved by the exuberant use of glass. This transparent quality is meant to connect patrons with the surrounding buildings and make the main room feel more like an open town square rather than an interior space. The new library building never rises above the old - the main objective was to harmonize the historical setting with the architecture of the present. The use of red brick was avoided in favor of maintaining the uniqueness of the old Bibliotheca, but the facades of the new building were plastered to connect it with other old buildings on the block. Natural stone was employed in the new facades, stairs, and courtyard, oak features prominently in the interior of the new building, and contemporary art is displayed in installations throughout the complex.

Are you detecting a theme here? There was tons of laughter this morning, due in large part to this woman you are looking at. Miss Library Ann was a complete joy. She was hilarious. I wanted to take her home with me. Plus, she wore a sassy skirt with Chucks. How could you not love this woman?
