Friendswood resident and WWI historian Kevin Burke provided a highly informative and fascinating account of the life of a WWI soldier.
The old Los Angeles Central Library is a much beloved landmark in downtown L.A. It was designed in a fanciful Egyptian/Mediterranean Revival style by Benjamin Goodhue (1869-1924). The Rockefeller Chapel at the University of Chicago and the skyscraper State Capitol in Lincoln Nebraska are two of Goodhue's other major projects. (That's the light of wisdom that's shining at the pyramid's peak.)
The new Library building in Birmingham is stunning, both inside and out. You are able to ascend right to the roof on the 7th floor - the final journey in a glass lift - where you can look out across the City to the surrounding coutryside. There is also a herb garden on the 4th floor. Hopefully this set of photos gives you a taste of the building and the wonderful veiws of the surrounding buildings.

This is a mat I made for a class I taught at work based on the Amazing Race, where the students had to go from library to library learning about the libraries and research
Freaky Friday is the culmination of the Summer programs for the Tweens and Young Adults. They get to come to the library after hours on Friday and have pizza, games and win prizes! This year was a blast!

“That’s no job for a girl!” If this statement makes you see red, then you will want to read about a feisty young woman’s maritime adventures. Captain Lillian Kluka, the first female Canadian Great Lakes ships’ captain and maritime pilot, answers the question “Ever been to sea, Lily?”
Actually there's not a lot up in that top bit (well, a fair few student services, in truth, but not as much as there is space for). The library itself is beneath all this.
I was never much fond of the design as this thing was going up, and the colours are still a bit out there, but on the whole it's grown on me with its various angles and interesting shapes, and it hosts a decent cafe and provides a much-needed bypass of wentworth building as a thoroughfare. It's a good thing, on balance. :)
Guess who came to town? Santa Claus! He was kind enough to work the library into his busy schedule for a story and pictures with all the kids!
Christchurch City Libraries visited the Affirm Festival 2010 at Wainoni Park. The Mobile Library was on site and there was a tent where people could join the library,, find out about the new Aranui Library and have fun with activities and giveaways. The library team was asking people about what they would like to see in the new Aranui Library.

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.
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.

The library was built in 1904. It is one of only 13 of the 32 libraries still standing. The bottom floor is the Layland Museum. The top floor is used as a community theater for Carnegie players. One of the oldest community groups in continuous existence. The upstairs still has wooden floors and old fashioned seats.
