McGill Library, built in the Collegiate Gothic style, opened on campus in 1938. It is named after Ralph Gibson McGill (1902). McGill was a missionary to Egypt. He drowned in the Mediterranean while trying to rescue children.
McGill Library was rededicated in 2008 after a $6.2 million renovation project. That project included: installation of compact shelving for books and periodicals on the ground floor; relocation of the main entrance and construction of a handicapped-accessible lift; creation of the Williamson and the Drinko Rooms; repair and renovation of the Ferguson Room, including refinishing of vintage 1930s solid oak chairs and library tables; and relocation and renovation of the computer lab.

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
Creator 2 role : Interior designer
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.

Looking at part of the Library that has just been refurbished. A few months a go I would have been standing exactly where the lending desk was.
Now there is no lending desk, though we have a 'information hub' just the other side of the wooden slates on the left for enquires etc.
The seats on the left are based on the original Basil Spence Seats (Spence designed the furniture as well as the building).
In the distance you can just make out the blue lights of the exit gates (using RFID technology).
At the top of the picture you can see a Window, this look from a upper floor room (currently the IT teaching room... not for much longer) on to this light well. When the building was first built the window would have been an external one, the light well and where the picture was taken would have all been outside, at the back of the building (the fact you can see the exit gates and the original back of the building gives you an idea of how thin the original building was).
Today was mental (busy). Taking photos slipped down the list of priorities. I went to the library on the weekend and came home with a haul of on-loan literature.
"In 1853, the decision to build a state library was made at the instigation of Lieutenant-Governor Charles La Trobe and Sir Redmond Barry. A competition was held to decide who would design the new building; local architect Joseph Reed, who later designed the Melbourne Town Hall and the Royal Exhibition Building, won the commission.
On 3 July 1854, the recently inaugurated Governor Sir Charles Hotham laid the foundation stone of both the new library and the University of Melbourne. The library opened in 1856, with a collection of 3,800 books chosen by Sir Redmond, the President of Trustees. Augustus H. Tulk, the first librarian, was appointed three months after the opening.
The first reading room was the Queen's Reading Room (now Queen's Hall), which opened in 1859. Temporary buildings built in 1866 for the Intercolonial Exhibition remained in use by the library until 1909, when work began on a new annexe building to mark the library's Jubilee. This new building was the landmark Domed Reading Room, which opened in 1913 and was designed by Norman G. Peebles" - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Library_of_Victoria
