This little building was moved from another part of the state. I don't know much about it, but I believe it was supposed to be quite historic. When they first brought it in, there were extensive repairs that needed doing. Being all wood, there was some damage, and since then it has been fixed up and I believe serves as a tiny library that is only open for public viewing during big, fund raising events. I have only been inside it once many years ago. it is an adorable addition to Sugar Mill Gardens, and fits in well with the charm of the place.
Library of Celsus is one of the most iconic ruins of the ancient world, located in Ephesus (near modern Selçuk, Turkey).
Built: c. 110–135 AD during Roman rule
Purpose: A monumental library and tomb for the Roman senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus (unusual—he’s buried beneath it)
Collection: Estimated 12,000 scrolls, making it one of the largest libraries of antiquity after Alexandria and Pergamon
Architectural highlights
Grand façade: Two stories with columns and niches, restored in the 1970s
Statues (symbolic):
Sophia (Wisdom)
Episteme (Knowledge)
Ennoia (Intelligence)
Arete (Virtue)
Clever design: Double walls helped protect scrolls from heat and humidity
What you see today
The façade is the star attraction (the interior was largely destroyed by fire and earthquakes)
Ephesus visit at sundown
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

This was my first childhood library back in the early 80’s.
I lived only a few streets away at Camperdown St. which was demolished in the mid - late 80’s
I have fond memories of this area and it’s sad to see it’s changed so much.
This library has been closed for years now and it’s only a matter of time before it too gets pulled down.
I think there’s plans to build more houses on the site and also Sunderland Road park which is directly behind the library.
Day 313
I decided to join other Flickr-ers who use dollhouse furniture as props. I guess the teeny tiny world is going to be my theme for the next week or even longer ;)

Built for the Teal Nebula collab coming to Bricktastic in just a couple of weeks, this is the Turtle Library. Because what every settlement needs is a roaming book vendor that comes and goes as it pleases.
This uses 4 single and one string of 6 LED lights from Light My Bricks (no, this isn't an ad, but I did like how simple it was to set up) to provide light, and also give Terry an infestation of bioluminescent fungus on his shell.
Don't worry though, it's not harmful and he's already got a couple of contractors on site to get it under control. I'll take more pictures of the space seahorse and share those at some point.
Power is via a borrowed USB powerpack which is slim enough to fit inside the turtle's carapace, and easy to access as the angled panels are only attached via a mixel joint and pop off easily. I've managed to conceal the wiring for the most part, but it's all on the back anyway and the wires themselves are so small. I'm terrified I'm going to damage them.
As far as this build goes, I'm glad it's done. The building in particular was haunted me with its unfinished-ness for longer than I'd have liked, so it's good to get that done. I think my favourite part is the postcard stand. I'm not much of a building builder, it has to be said. But it was designed to be open and reasonably easy to see inside. For a library there's not a huge amount of bookshelf space, but there's some upstairs, under the collection of treasure maps and miscellaneous bits represented by assorted printed tiles.
So there we have it. Space, even if it's not my usual spaceship fare. I still haven't built one of those this year...
FAR TOO MANY BOOKS IN MY OPINION.
And there were two other carts just like that one to go with it.
It was like the entire library was on a cart, waiting for me to put it ALL away. T^T
Sunday in The State Library and students are still hard at work! The end is in sight and most have already finished the year . I dedicate this shot to all who love to learn...I'm guessing that is all of you!

This is part of the National Trust collection in Stourhead House
The Stourton family had lived at the Stourhead estate for 500 years until they sold it to Sir Thomas Meres in 1714. His son, John Meres, sold it in 1717 to Henry Hoare, son of wealthy banker Sir Richard Hoare.The original manor house was demolished and a new house, one of the first of its kind, was designed by Colen Campbell and built by Nathaniel Ireson between 1721 and 1725.
Over the next 200 years, the Hoare family collected many heirlooms, including a large library and art collection. In 1902, the house was gutted by fire but many of the heirlooms were saved, and the house was rebuilt in a nearly identical style.
The last Hoare family member to own the property, Sir Henry Hugh Arthur Hoare, gave the house and gardens to the National Trust in 1946, one year before his death. His son and sole heir, Captain Henry Colt Arthur "Harry" Hoare, of the Queen's Own Dorset Yeomanry, had died of wounds received at the Battle of Mughar Ridge on 13 November 1917 during World War I. The last Hoare family member to be born at the house was Edward Hoare on 11 October 1949.
Libraries are closing because of the cuts. People really do use them even if just for the internet. Has yours gone?
Petrolia, Ontario, Canada.
This classic Victorian structure was built in 1903 for the Grand Trunk Railroad. In 1937 it was re-purposed for use as the community's public library.
