The Library of Trinity College Dublin serves Trinity College and the University of Dublin. It is the largest library in Ireland and, as a legal deposit or "copyright library", it has rights to receive material published in the Republic of Ireland free of charge; it is also the only Irish library to hold such rights for the United Kingdom. The Library is the permanent home to the famous Book of Kells. Two of the four volumes are on public display, one opened to a major decorated page and the other to a typical page of text. The volumes and pages shown are regularly changed.[2] Members of the University of Dublin also have access to the libraries of Tallaght Hospital and the Irish School of Ecumenics, Milltown.
FAR TOO MANY BOOKS IN MY OPINION.
And there were two other carts just like that one to go with it.
It was like the entire library was on a cart, waiting for me to put it ALL away. T^T

When I visited the Library, I used my new Lens, to test it in low light.
The wheeled stair and shelves of wonderful leather bound books from the library at Stourhead.
I found the library to be rather light and airy compared to many in old stately homes, makes for a refreshing change.

Libraries are closing because of the cuts. People really do use them even if just for the internet. Has yours gone?
Although I did the initial sorting, the gorgeous arrangement you see here owes a great deal to the tireless efforts and elegance of my friend Erika, book organizer to the stars [errr, to starting junior professors :-)]
This was the late Lord Montagu's sitting room where he would often relax with his family at the end of the day. In later years, he also used the room as his office. He had a large record collection which included artists as varied as Ted Heath, Jimi Hendrix and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. In the classical section, his favourite composers were Beethoven, Britten, Elgar, Mahler, Strauss and Wagner. It was the operas of the latter which he particularly enjoyed playing at full volume.
The book collection is mainly that of Henry James, Baron Montagu of Boughton, whose books spanned the 18th and 19th century, and the natural history collection of John Montagu, spanning the late Victorian era to the early 20th century. The library and its bookshelves were moved from the room below to make way for the Picture Gallery when Palace House was first opened to the public in 1952.
Beaulieu Palace House is a 13th-century house in Beaulieu, Hampshire, United Kingdom. Originally part of Beaulieu Abbey, the estate was bought in 1538 by Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It is still owned and occupied by the earl's descendants, the Barons Montagu of Beaulieu.
Although still home to the current Lord and Lady Montagu, parts of the house and gardens are open daily to the public. It is a member of the Treasure Houses of England consortium. The Palace House is open to the public as part of the visitor attraction known as "Beaulieu", which includes:
* Beaulieu Abbey
* National Motor Museum
* Beaulieu Palace House
* Secret Army Exhibition – an exhibit about the Special Operations Executive training at Beaulieu during World War II
* Gardens
* A monorail
* Rides

A Little Free Library made by Ritch Branstrom in front of his AdHocWORKshop in Rapid River. With apologies to all my librarian friends who know this is not really a library. Explored #43 on June 10, 2019.
