VISUAL LIBRARIES - Leave your Mark.
A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
You can ‘Leave Your Mark’ in whatever way you want, ranging from drawing, writing, sewing, adding photographs, markings, printing and sticking. How you make your marks is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you have fun with the different themes. Just borrow it on your library card with other books and materials. If you are not already a member, just ask the staff to help you.
45 Visual Library Books have been placed in Portsmouth Central Library and each has its own theme ranging from; Portsmouth, My City, When I Open My Eyes, Whilst I Was Waiting, Love, What’s in My Pocket and Memories. The intention is for you to feel free to explore the Visual Library Books and choose a theme that you like.
In Association with: Rhodia, Seawhite, Portsmouth City Council, University of Portsmouth, COPIC Pens

From the launch of Your Community Your Health, a new health information service at Muirhouse Library.
The project, which aims to provide local people with easily accessible information in relation to their health and wellbeing, will be accessed via a web-based system with face-to-face support from trained staff at health information points in local communities. These will be set up initially in three community venues: Muirhouse Library, Pilton Community Health Project and Craigroyston Health Centre. The project is a unique initiative delivered in partnership by NHS Lothian, Pilton Community Health Project and Edinburgh City Libraries.
Councillor Deidre Brock, Culture and Leisure Convener for the City of Edinburgh Council, said: “Libraries are increasingly becoming real community hubs, connecting local people to a mine of useful information about their area. These health information points will be a hugely valuable tool for people to find out about the services available to them.”
The library was honored to have astronaut and Friendswood resident Jerry Ross speak to a full house yesterday evening at the Friendswood Public Library. Jerry provided fascinating information regarding his wonderful new book Spacewalker: My Journey in Space and Faith as NASA’s Recording Setting Frequent Flyer. Using PowerPoint and narrating his own video footage Jerry gave audience members a vivid look into the world of astronauts and their work with the Space Shuttle and Space Station. Jerry also took time to answer numerous audience questions.
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.

The walkway between Manchester Central Library and the extension of Manchester Town Hall.
Apparently, the library's design is "loosely derived from The Pantheon", in Rome.

Glimpsed as we were waiting at the traffic lights in Liverpool. Now to retrace our route and find out where it is.......
Update: The former Edge Hill library - according to an article in 2008, saved from the bulldozers and planned for redevelopment. But as we only caught this glimpse, I don't know if any work has been done.
The former Carnegie Public Library at William Avenue and Dagmar Street on the northerly fringe of Winnipeg's central business district. Until the 1970s this was the main branch of the Winnipeg library system. Since that time it has been home to the City of Winnipeg Archives. The building contains references to the charitable educational purposes of the Carnegie benefaction including the motto "Free To All" as seen here. The shields on either side of that motto read "History and Literature" and "Arts and Science".
