The library is made up of three small rooms in this building. The children's library is about 3m x 5m and the study room and adult library around 3m x 3m. Small spaces but full of life.
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.
My work is on display at the local library this month. I probably should have photographed it with the doors open, eh? Blogged here.
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.
nrhp # 73001920- Shepherdstown Historic District-
The Shepherdstown Public Library is located in a unique historic building that began its life in the summer of 1800 as a market house. Two days a week the bell rang out to bring in shoppers with their large baskets to buy fresh produce. This original use is linked with the revived Sunday Farmer's Market located behind the library.
In 1845, the local order of the Odd Fellows petitioned the Town Council for permission to build a second story meeting room, with a secure roof, five windows to each side and an outside stairway. The wooden plaques on the front of the library, restored in 1995, were installed at the time.
The building subsequently was used as a hospital after the Battle of Antietam, as a fire hall, a Council room and a jail before the Shepherdstown Woman's Club began a small volunteer library here in 1921, in the bottom floor of the building. The upstairs children's section was opened on Easter Monday, 1963.
Why can't you suction up a liquid with two straws if one of the straws is outside the liquid? Our teen patrons learned why at How to Trick Your Friends and Hack Your Brain with Science program for teens ages 12-18 (July 24, 2014)
Alabama City is now a section of Gadsden. The library was constructed in 1920 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Everton Library, a beautiful building that is closed down and falling into disrepair. It really should be restored and re-opened for people to use and enjoy again.

The Stephenson Library on Elswick Road has long since ceased lending books. Today it is a Women and Girls' Resource Centre. Just now it is undergoing a refurbishment. The rather odd notices on the door proclaim it is the Elswick Girls' Centre, and that we should use the back entrance, and that video pictures are being made of it all.
I'm saying nothing.
