The Neo Classical Facade remains but the interior could be the most ultra modern library in Britain.
Hit 'L' to view on large.
Finally got this one under my belt at last.
A real time capsule but nature is taking back a lot of the rooms with full on decay and collapsed floors. Not to mention a shotgun wielding farmer and a bull roaming the enclosure to make matters worse. We had a chase on our hands to get out but so worth it.

The library in the hamlet of Naselle is the most substantial and attractive building in town.
"Library service in Naselle started on April 21, 1986 in a stationary bookmobile near Lion's Park. The Naselle Library was originally opened as an experimental 'mini-library' to serve patrons formerly served by the bookmobile. A new library was built and opened in November 1991."
It has the hallmarks of the short-lived postmodern style, which looks better here than in its usual application as a garnish on strip malls.
About Timberland Regional Library
Timberland Regional Library (TRL) is a public library system that provides library services to the residents of five counties in Southwest Washington State: Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston Counties. Under Washington State law, TRL is an Intercounty Rural Library District and is funded by property taxes and revenue from timber sales in the 5-county area.
In the 1960's the Washington State Library Commission initiated a demonstration project to improve library services in Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston counties in response to requests from the counties' residents.
Through this cooperative effort, library services were consolidated to create a more efficient and economical regional operation, to increase the size of the library collections and to provide service for the first time in several rural communities.
Citizens voted in November 1968 to unite the five counties into one library district, the Timberland Regional Library (TRL). TRL services began in 21 libraries with Becky Morrison serving as the first Executive Director.
Since 1968, TRL has provided information, reading, and lifelong learning services at 28 libraries offering over 1 million items to more than half a million people. The library system is funded mainly by local property taxes with additional income from timber sales taxes.
Not only were community libraries added when opportunities and dollars permitted, TRL has introduced state-of-the-art electronic services in order to provide residents with the best available library service; to provide access to all, regardless of physical limitations or geographic location; and to increase the potential of success for everyone in the system’s five counties. All Timberland library programs are free and open to the public. Anyone needing special accommodations to participate in a library program may contact the library one week in advance.
This library looks like a set from a Harry Potter film. It was built by a well-to-do man in the early 17th century to benefit poor and disadvantaged children in Manchester.

History is happening! New photo work for Atlanta History Center. I spent a week in Atlanta during the month of June shooting tons of artifacts from the vaults. I also photographed costumed interpreters as well as many other destinations around the Atlanta History Center. It was a pleasure working with long time friends and collaborators Son & Sons on this fun rebrand.

After seeing Mannesalt's Old Library based on Maxim Baybakov's original design, I decided to build my own library with a furnished interior and removable modular levels.
Located in Washington, DC this is a marvelous place to visit if you are ever in the United States capital. A truly beautiful building.

"Le Château de Chantilly abrite l’une des plus riches bibliothèques de France. Les trésors accumulés par les différents propriétaires de Chantilly ont été complétés et magnifiés avec passion par le duc d’Aumale, qui fut le plus grand bibliophile de son temps. Le Cabinet des livres aménagé par l’architecte Honoré Daumet à la fin du XIXe siècle forme un écrin pour les manuscrits des princes de Condé et les trésors du duc d’Aumale. Un hommage y est rendu au Grand Condé dont le buste, par Coysevox, attire le regard sur la cheminée, tandis que les armoiries des compagnons d’armes du prince ornent le plafond"
