Each one of these bags contains a selection of materials hand-picked for our Visiting library patrons - people who can't physically visit the library. Each person's selection is placed in a labelled bag, loaded on these carts that are rolled into delivery trucks and the bags are delivered to people's doorsteps.

Second carnegie library of the day - and this one was also lovely and light inside. Found on the first floor it still has lots of lovely original features - including a glass dome and mosaic crest in the entrance hall.

I was struggling to find subject matter today, so took a picture of the local library!

This is located in the back yard of the Public Library in Shippensburg, PA.

I assume it was a public drinking fountain in the late 1800's.

Possibly the largest library in the world though it seems like the internet can't agree on that.

I'm uploading photos from a trip I went on organised by the Gaithersburg Camera Club. It was a bit of a disaster in that I got confused and just left the group, thinking that it disbanded at the library, but apparently it hadn't and they were frantically looking for me... Oops.

The library looked rather splendid but I couldn't see much on display besides a Gutenberg Bible so not as interesting to visit as the New York Public Library.

Once the front door, now the frontage is just for show, as the main entrance is through the modern "Eltham Centre" round the corner (contains library, leisure centre, cafe and more). Glad they kept this though - the library is in the section behind these windows. Opened in 1906 and funded by Carnegie

Dr. William Johnson brought in a collection of bugs to the delight of the children at the library. He also delivered a presentation with lots of fun information on bugs!

I took a photo like this, in this same set of pictures, where the isle was empty and I felt like it was lacking something so it became a self portrait.

A standing room crowd came to hear featured speaker Dan Illerich speak and answer questions surrounding the events documented in Judith Heimann’s book The Airmen and the Headhunters: a true story of lost soldiers, heroic tribesmen and the unlikeliest rescue of World War II. Dan is also the featured narrator of the Airmen and Headhunters PBS documentary. Dan Illerich lives in Friendswood, Texas with his wife Mary. He is the last surviving Airmen in The Airmen and the Headhunters story. He provides the only first hand testimony of the American Airmens’ experiences with the Dayak tribes in Borneo. Of the ten men in the B-24 bomber crew shot down by the Japanese in November 1944, seven survived the parachute from the plane. Dan tells their story.

Much of the old library has been demolished except the exterior walls.

Beautiful library built by the Belding Brothers in 1917.

During the Study Visit 2014, I loved these parts of the City Square Library. I see so much potential for awkward spaces now. Each of these spaces drew attention and looked beautiful.

The Party Animals brought back their classic program Dino Search and the kids had a blast hunting down the extinct dinosaur.
