The Queens Library in Flushing is a beautiful building. I was surprised to find that this isn't the main library. Still, it's a large one and well used.
It was a gray day, so even my new Zeiss lens couldn't make this look bright and cheerful, but it is sharp.

TITLE: A NEW VISION FOR LIBRARY ARCHITECTURE
DATE:1927
NOTES: Myron Hunt’s design—an imaginative combination of formal Italian style and Spanish architecture–was selected for the Central Library.
Its unique approach eliminated some aspects of more traditional library designs. He located all public services on one floor with connections to staff areas.

Library bulletin board display, showing a modern skyline. I cut this pattern out using black fadeless paper. This was definitely one of the hardest displays I ever made, and the skyline took me a very long time to cut.

A great group of kids showed up at the library for the annual Freaky Friday party for kids who read at least 20 books in the Summer Reading Club and attend a certain number of the library's Summer programs. They were entertained with games and food and everyone got to take home a free book at the end of the night.
Where I work there is this floating heart and an invitation to engage in fantasy. Shot on my iphone using the ColorSplash app. Always wanted to try this technique... Shot in the Van Wagenen Library at SUNY Cobleskill. View On Black
