VISUAL LIBRARIES - Leave your Mark.
A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
You can ‘Leave Your Mark’ in whatever way you want, ranging from drawing, writing, sewing, adding photographs, markings, printing and sticking. How you make your marks is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have fun with the different themes.
45 Visual Library Books have been placed in Portsmouth Central Library and each has its own theme ranging from; Portsmouth, My City, When I Open My Eyes, Whilst I Was Waiting, Love, What’s in My Pocket and Memories. The intention is for you to feel free to explore the Visual Library Books and choose a theme that you like.

The library with Massanutten peak in the distance. Image tweaked a bit with Picasa to remove the bit about the incoming storm messing with the natural light.

The Library has a fresh new look and we celebrated by inviting friends to an Open House so everyone could get a peek at the changes.
candy bars were sliced and put into baggies. Teens had to figure out which was which just by looking at their cross sections.
Unfortunately (for me) - closed for refurbishment. But fortunate for the people of Sowerby Bridge - the library is over 100 years old, and its getting a new roof, new heating, new carpet and other redecoration.

HeadSpace Japanese themed designs, written description and collage entered for the BBC Blast 'Your Label' fashion design competition.
Dublin City Libraries were delighted to be back at the Rose Festival this year. There was plenty of activity around the Library in the Community van and the Lord Mayor of Dublin even popped by to say hello. Our library tent played host to some great family events including he Gruffalo puppet show and photogram workshop.
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.
The architects conceived the new Central Library building as a celebration of books, deciding after some research that despite the arrival of the 21st century and the "digital age," people still respond to books printed on paper. The architects also worked to make the library inviting to the public, rather than stuffy, which they discovered was the popular perception of libraries as a whole.
Although the library is an unusual shape from the outside, the architects' philosophy was to let the building's required functions dictate what it should look like, rather than imposing a structure making the functions conform to that.
For example, a major section of the building is the "Books Spiral," (designed to display the library's nonfiction collection without breaking up the Dewey Decimal System classification onto different floors or sections). The collection spirals up through four stories on a continuous series of shelves. This allows patrons to peruse the entire collection without using stairs or traveling to a different part of the building.
Other internal features include; the Microsoft Auditorium on the ground floor, the "Living Room" on the third floor (designed as a space for patrons to read), the Charles Simonyi Mixing Chamber (a version of a reference desk that provides interdisciplinary staff help for patrons who want to have questions answered or do research), and the Betty Jane Narver Reading Room on level 10 (with views of Elliott Bay).
New functions include automatic book sorting and conveyance, self-checkout for patrons, pervasive wireless communications among the library staff, and over 400 public computer terminals.

Located in Quebec City, the Morrin Centre was built over 200 years ago as one of the city's first jails, it now houses one of the world's most beautiful libraries.
The local performing group POPSTAR Performers visited the library and put on a great show for us! What a great way for kids to share their creative sides!
Selections from Lisa Tilder's vertical/option studio from this quarter. (Each Spring, third-year undergraduates and second-year graduates individually choose among a half-dozen studio options, based on brief pitches given by the professors. This not only helps break out of the normal studio group dynamics, but also gives a rare chance for students to pursue specific personal interests.) Most of the second-years clotted together in Tilder's studio, which had the project of designing an expansion to the Cranbrook library complex.
