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?
"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 Architecture and Fine Art Library is emphasized as a meeting place between the two colleges that the space specifically caters to. Keeping in mind the library's future goal of working more directly with the fine art and architecture students, while not excluding students from all across campus, the set was designed to emphasize the ability of the creative process to occur all in one cohesive and collaborative location. Thus, a series of three icons were made to emphasize the library's potential as a place to explore, think, and share; while also opening up the brand into the possibility of hosting events based off of this core ideology.

Built in 1912, the Cobb Memorial Library is historically significant in the area of community development as Truro's first town-owned public library, and for its association with the evolution of the library system in Truro. Cobb Memorial Library remained in use as a public library until 1999. It is now the town's historic archive. The building was given to the town by Elisha Wiley Cobb in memory of his parents Elisha W. and Mehitable Cobb. The donor was a Truro native who became a leather merchant in Boston, but also owned a house in Truro that had been in his family since it was built ca. 1727. The Cobb Memorial Library is architecturally significant as an excellent, rare, and well preserved example of the Craftsman style in Truro. The architect is unknown, but the library is the only nonresidential building in Truro designed in this style. The Cobb Memorial Library retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and it meets National Register criteria A and C with a local level of significance. The period of significance is 1912 to 1963, begining when the library was constructed and ending 50 years from the present, a time frame established by the National Park Service as adequate for objective historical perspective.

Just popped in for a nose, as I'd never been inside before. The library has had a lengthy revamp, I gather. Last time I was in the vicinity, at least 18 months ago, it was all hidden from view by hoardings.
The contrast of old and new is very well done. What's wonderful, is that you can climb all the stairs [lifts available too] to the roof for a free view!

"The library is unusual in that it uses a custom system of organization which is designed to facilitate and emphasize browsing. For example the section on "Suburbia" is next to the section on "Domestic Environments" then "Architecture" which becomes "Graphic Design" which in turn leads to "Typography" and "Fine Arts" and then "Advertising" and "Sales". There is no Dewey Decimal system or card catalog."

I asked him what theme he wanted for August, and he said, "Trains!" I tell you, there is no shortage of children's books about trains. I had to stop looking after picking out six.
The Horn Library project consists of three distinct, but integrated pillars for study, academic support, and social interaction and collaboration. The project is envisioned to provide an improved and expanded state-of-the-art study space for students, a centralized academic support center designed around student needs, and additional classroom and faculty office space. The project also includes a new and expanded Cutler Center in a prominent location that highlights the study of finance and investment for current and prospective students, and an update of the building systems, including mechanical systems to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
