"Because of my public library, I can read anything I want to! You see, I’m blind and I am a Braille reader. There aren’t many books available in Braille in my community. I can purchase Braille books online, or I can check out books in Braille through Library Services for the Blind in Raleigh, NC. But I can’t just go to my local bookstore and buy a Braille book. In the past, I was even unable to walk into a public library and check out a book. I had to call or go online, order a book from the library in Raleigh, and wait for it to come to me in the mail. It was hard to see friends check out books every week in the school library, and not be able to participate. But my public library changed that for me! You see, Imaginon, the children’s library ordered Braille books for blind and visually impaired children to have. So now, I can go into any branch library or just go online and have a Braille book sent from Imaginon to my local library branch. That means I can walk into any library in Charlotte and check out a book! Or I can just go to Imaginon and explore all the Braille library books for myself."
Canada Water Library under construction in August 2011. I have several images of the library during construction which I am adding to my photostream.
The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library Board members, staff, CNMI government officials, and our whole community are celebrating National Library Week, April 10-16. I brought thirty cases of books for the shelves at Joeten-Kiyu, chosen by your congressional office from the overstock at the Library of Congress. Congratulations to library patrons, staff, and Board members for your dedication to learning. Let’s Read!

We also know of another superstition of that time: that of the Man of the Book. On some shelf in some hexagon (men reasoned) there must exist a book which is the formula and perfect compendium of all the rest: some librarian has gone through it and he is analogous to a god. In the language of this zone vestiges of this remote functionary's cult still persist. Many wandered in search of Him. For a century they exhausted in vain the most varied areas. How could one locate the venerated and secret hexagon which housed Him? Someone proposed a regressive method- To locate book A, consult first a book B which indicates A's position; to locate book B, consult first a book C., and so on to infinity....

Please leave a comment I do appreciate them and lets me know what people think. I have so many photos and almost no comments. It also lets me know what pictures are best.
I am 32 years old
and finally I look my age, if not more.
I remember my 31st year when I cried:
“To think I may have to go another 31 years!”
I don’t feel that way this birthday.
I feel I want to be wise with white hair in a tall library
in a deep chair by a fireplace.

The "ideal library". A small shopfront library with exquisite design and planning. Many, many innovative features. Co-located with a commercial bookshop and cinema.
overlooking the Pacific Ocean. in my humble opinion: one of the most beautiful Libraries in the World..of course, I am bias.
This building is located in Asuka-yama Park. The reinforced-concrete private library was completed in 1925, and was owned by Shibusawa Eiichi, a capitalist in Meiji and Taisho Era.
The Mercantile Library is a membership library. It is a non-profit institution supported by members' annual subscriptions, gifts, and income from an endowment fund. The Library receives no tax support. The name refers not to the collection but to the Library's founders who were young merchants and clerks.
Organized in 1835, it is the city's senior library and one of the oldest cultural institutions in the midwest.
The Mercantile Library Building at 414 Walnut Street that currently houses the Library is the fourth structure on the site. The space on the eleventh and twelfth floors was designed for the Library in 1903 and the building was completed in 1908. Many of the shelves, desks and chairs currently in the Library date back to previous buildings which were destroyed by fire. The institution's perpetually-renewable 10,000-year lease was issued by the Cincinnati College, which merged with the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1911, in exchange for the men of the Mercantile Library Association helping the college to rebuild after its structure burned in 1845.
The Library's tradition of cultural programs was initiated by its founders and has featured prominent writers and thinkers since its first lecture series in the 1840s. Speakers in the early days included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Wendell Phillips, W. M. Thackeray, Edward Everett, Herman Melville, Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe;.
More blue hour. I dunno if anyone but me likes these building portraits, but I think I'm getting a lot better at them. This one is SOOC except for a slight keystone correction (can't afford a shift lens) and a post-resize sharpen (since I don't upload full camera sizes).
The Boerne Library is building a new facility this year, and it's still unclear what will happen to this one. It won't be demolished, but I do hope it gets used for a public rather than private purpose.
