This is the old central library in Birmingham, long discussed as an eye sore and concrete crap.
I saw a documentary on the architect of this building. He hadn't seen it before it was finished back in the 60's and when he saw it recently he cried !
The building was not finished properly and should have all been clad with a high gloss honey marble to copy the feeling of the great pyramids which he was trying to emulate in the original design.
Seems the money ran out in the council coffers before that happened.

Wondering if the title "library chix" will bring in the views by people hoping it's not the innocuous scene that it actually is. What if I added more X's a la "Library Chixxx"?

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.

Landmark removed the glazed roof which wasn't original and preserved it here. The slate replacement roof can be seen in the background.

I also walked around UCSB (University of California at Santa Barbara). When I look at a university or college, I look at their overall campus and library. I was underwhelemd by the UCSB library - much of it seemed old fashioned and out of date.
Especially in this day and age, extensive collections of outdated and probably never used books and micro fiche/film do not represent a place of learning to me.
