HCLS First Public Library in Maryland to Add Living Books to Collection as part of The Human Library™
Howard County Library System (HCLS) will become the first public library system in Maryland to give its customers the opportunity to borrow Living Books. The Human Library™ will be open on Saturday, March 11 from 1 to 5 pm at HCLS Miller Branch located at 9421 Frederick Road in Ellicott City. Framed around the adage “Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover,” the new initiative encourages participants to look beyond stereotypes and engage in meaningful dialogue. The goal is to foster a positive framework where open, one-on-one, honest conversations lead to greater understanding and acceptance in the community.
The HCLS Human Library will include Living Books from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and identities. Among the books will be a United States veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, a transgender man, and a person living with Bipolar Disorder. Readers will sign up on a first-come basis to “borrow” the books at the Miller Branch, for a fifteen minute, one-on-one conversation to gain insight into their particular experiences and the often marginalizing stigma attached.
The Human Library is an international, innovative approach to challenging stigma, stereotypes, and prejudices through non-confrontational and respectful conversation. It is intended to be a welcoming, inclusive, non-partisan space where difficult questions are expected, appreciated, and answered. There is no political agenda. HCLS is striving to grow its collection of Living Books and expand the number of opportunities for readers to visit throughout the year.
The HCLS Human Library is part of this year’s Choose Civility initiative, Kindness Creates Community. It is presented in partnership with the Howard County Office of Human Rights and #OneHoward.

In 1848 Warrington had the proud distinction of becoming the first town in the United Kingdom to open a rate-supported public library. It was born from a long-established private subscription library that had been operating in Warrington since 1760 from the Horsemarket Street premises of the printer William Eyres.
By the mid-1880s, Warrington’s municipal library – by now housed in [these] purpose-built premises in Museum Street, the foundation stone of which was laid by William Beamont in front of a massive crowd – boasted over 20,000 books and was thought to be the largest of any town in England based on the number of books per head of population.
The oldest part of the building. The only part that escaped the fire that destroyed the rest of the Canadian Parliament.

The visual impact of these very colourful frescoes is stunning. The frescoes tell the story of the life of Siena's favourite son, cardinal Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who eventually became Pope Pius II. He was the uncle of cardinal Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (then archbishop of Siena and the future pope Pius III), who commissioned this library in 1492 as a repository of the books and the manuscript collection of his uncle. The ceiling is covered with painted panels of mythological subjects. They were executed between 1502 and 1503 by Pinturicchio and his assistants.
Some of the library's history, excerpted from: whatcom.kulshan.com/Washington/Whatcom_County/Bellingham/...
"In 1890 a small group of people began the Fairhaven Reading Room in the Mason Building so men could 'spend a evening somewhere besides a saloon.' A child who grew up in Fairhaven could climb 3 flights of stairs to get a book; so in 1904 a new library was built. Andrew Carnegie promised $12,500, and the construction was begun. (He also promised some funds to begin a northern library because it was so difficult to travel between the two.) The same year he gave an additional $3,500 so the building could be opened that year. It was originally built of red brick on a concrete foundation. (The original brick can be seen at the rear of the building.) In 1974 the interior was remodeled and much of the woodwork was lost. Due to the diligence of the current librarian and the Fairhaven Friends of the Library the woodwork is being replicated and refinished. The imposing building can be credited to Carnegie."

This you may recognise as the wonderful library close to the Central Railway Station, with it's incredible ceiling over the entrance that looks to me like something that a mushroom fan would love!
In there we saw a new equipment display with stuff you can borrow. If you book a recording session in one of the studios but you really need a 12 string Martin acoustic, you can borrow one. With your library card.

Well, my gaming library has spilled into a second bookcase. I still have my stuff from Eden Studios in a different place though. Of course, now I just have to find someplace to put the books that I had to take off that shelf. At least I have things to do while unemployed. If you have questions about what's on a shelf just ask in a comment.

What I like a lot about this resort is all the old architecture and buildings/houses you can find. Lots of history and character showing.
Fr: Ce que j’aime dans ce coin c’est toute la vieille architecture et les immeubles/ maisons que l’on peut voir. Il y a plein d’histoire et de caractere.
