Redlands, Calif. - This postcard shows the 1898 library shortly after the addition (colonade at left), but when it was still bare red brick and before the central tower was removed. After restoration in the early 2000s, it looks pretty much like this again.

This shows the entrance to the carpark, and includes the street number of the library. This photograph only shows part of the carpark. Quite a few people were walking to the library (and could be identified by the stack of library materials they were carrying).

This is Luis, the nice man who graces us with his presence most days at Boalt's library. I originally asked him if I could take his photo but he said no. Later, as I was saying goodbye to Homaira, he asked me to repeat what I had asked him, told me he didn't hear, and let me take his photo.
Photo Details: Same 85mm on the t2i.
I've gone back to no flash setting. I started off taking manual, then AV mode, now i'm on auto settings. Sad. And either way, I focused on his hand instead of his eyes. I always forget that's the one important rule of portrait photography: focus on the eyes. I'm always so nervous about taking people's time that I sometimes mess up the shot. Oh, well, part of the learning process.
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.
