historic north reading room

Not your usual library, but open all hours nonetheless...

별마당 도서관, 수원

 

The starfield library is aesthetically designed and spans from the 4th floor to the 7th floor in the middle of the recently opened shopping mall. You can read books, magazines, and use the tablets set up on the 4th floor. Books are displayed on the walls from the 4th to the 7th floor but are out of reach.

This is our beloved study room/library. Our family loves to read. I think I will really love this lens :)

The herbarium building I work in is old, I call it 'living urbex'. Plans are made to renovate. In the coming months I will try to capture as much as possible of what is there....

National Library, Singapore

Taken at the New South Wales State Library in Sydney.

 

Getting access to the upper levels of the inner library isn't possible, so this photo was taken through a locked glass door on the second floor. This is a hand held photo taken with an Olympus OMD-M5 and processed in Lightroom 4. The level of detail is pretty amazing given all of the limiting factors and the fact that I didn't use HDR.

St. Florian Monastery

Random books in an academic library.

When I was a little girl, all I wanted to do was read. One day, to avoid my pesky little brothers, I went to a horse pasture and climbed a tree with my book. I fell out of the tree and broke my arm. It was broken in the upper part of my arm so the recovery meant 6 weeks home from school. My mother was not a happy camper. Who knew reading could be so dangerous?

University of Washington, Seattle

 

My wife and I recently toured the University of Washington mainly to see the cherry blossoms. If you would like to read more about our visit and see more photos, check out my post Cherry Blossoms Beckon to the University of Washington at my blog Batteredsuitcase.net

The park at the South End Branch of the Boston Public Library.

 

More mid-Century modern architecture in Boston's South End.

But later, here, with a beautiful example from the Mitchell/Giurgola architectural firm and this design for the (new) South End branch of the Boston Public Library.

 

Based in Philly in the 1960s, Mitchell/Giurgola and the Philadelphia School "challenged doctrinaire modernism with designs and buildings that conceptually recognized their context. Giurgola completed the BPL’s South End library branch in 1971 as he and the Mitchell/Giurgola Architects firm attracted national and international attention for their work."

Wahoo Public Library

Wahoo, NE

As the title suggests, this is a library building. I love the brightly lit and colorful facade, and I presume the guys on the platform loved it too.
