The D. H. Hill Library is NC State University's main library, located on the north campus. The library features the Learning Commons, one of the top student destinations on campus for collaboration, study, and access to technology; the Special Collections Research Center; the Digital Media Lab; a coffee bar and ice cream shop; and the majority of the NCSU Libraries' collection of over 4.3 million items.
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 reflection pool is serene. Few people have climbed the back ledge to reach this position of the library. Note the ducks frolicking at the end of the pool.

I was probably about 9 years old. I started in the ‘A’ section of the children's novels of the Dunedin Public Library at the start of my summer holidays and read right through to the end of the ‘Z’ section. No I didn’t read EVERY book I judged them both by their covers and their blurbs. If it was an author I knew I read the books I hadn’t already read. I only brought home one of any book from each author that I liked the look of. I went back and grabbed the rest of their books if I enjoyed the first one I tried. I spent a lot of time at the library that summer. I didn’t want to have to carry too many books home so I would read in their massive story pit... surrounded by cushions and the comfort of books. I probably read 4-5 books each day (I used to be a fast reader). I recorded them and rated them too and then back to the library again on my bike for more. Lucky for me the library had a 30 book limit! It was through all this reading that I discovered American author Daniel Manus Pinkwater. One of only two authors I have ever felt compelled to write too. And he wrote me back! He sent me a postcard of the image to the right there. His books Borgel, Lizard Music, and The Last Guru were my favourite. The library didn’t have too many of his books- he is seriously prolific! His writing is quirky and totally weird- probably why I identified with it! I can remember four scenes quite clearly: From The Last Guru the scene with the giant popsicle running happily through the fields. From Lizard Music- the scene where after the television programming ends for the day the static is on and it clears to reveal a Lizard band walking on-stage and setting up their instruments and playing. And from Borgel the scene where they go into the black and white two dimensional land. And the one where Borgel is telling Melvin about his life in the Old Country. And his pet peach pit called Lance and how he traded a skunk squashed on a road for a kleenex and that for a pickle and eventually ended up with his own hat at 25. “You’re making this up right?” I asked Uncle Borgel “Every word. Why, you don’t like it?”
I haven't been to our main library for awhile because we have been visiting the smaller, more convenient branches. I forgot just how awesome it is!

Julian Franklin brought another exciting program to the library. His Science Magic Show was a big hit!

Every means of transportation at the new Seattle library is color-coded fluorescent chartreuse. That's my mom in the foreground, and me and Casey ahead of her.
