Madison Public Library's world language collection includes a variety of materials for kids, teens, and adults to check out. The collection contains materials in several languages including Spanish, Arabic, French, Japanese, and more. Recently, a quiet yet significant change aimed at streamlining the organization and accessibility of the children's and teens' world language book collections, particularly focusing on Spanish and bilingual (English/Spanish) materials, has occurred: relabeling and reorganizing. The change was done after library staff noticed inconsistencies in the organization of world language materials, making shelving and checking out books difficult.
Free books from a thrift store that’s closing. Nice timing, since the “share” bag I keep in my car was close to empty & I will be visiting some new to me @littlefreelibrary locations soon.

National Library of Scotland, 57 George IV Bridge.
Designed by Reginald Fairlie in 1934-36, with construction commencing in 1937 and the building completed in 1958 (after work had been suspended during the Second World War). It is an imposing national library in a classical-Modern style with stylised bas-relief and sculptures by Hew Lorimer. Its two tall upper floors, accessed from George IV Bridge level, sit on top of seven bookstack floors below the bridge. Structurally the building has steel framework encased in concrete and reinforced concrete floors. The front and side elevations are clad in cream coloured Blaxter ashlar sandstone. The rear elevations are rendered brick with raised margins.
The Great Court at the British Museum, officially named the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, is a two-acre covered square at the center of the British Museum. Opened in December 2000 and designed by Foster and Partners, the space transformed the museumâs inner courtyardâformerly occupied by the British Library bookstacksâinto the largest covered public square in Europe. Its signature feature is the sweeping glass and steel roof, engineered by Buro Happold and built by Waagner-Biro, composed of 3,312 uniquely shaped panes. The 19th-century domed Reading Room sits at its heart, encircled by circulation routes, galleries, and visitor facilities.
The British Museum Reading Room, located at the heart of the Great Court, was designed by Sydney Smirke and opened in 1857 to house the growing library of the British Museum. Constructed of cast iron, concrete, and a papier-mâché dome inspired by the Pantheon, the roomâs circular design accommodated thousands of books and readers, with surrounding iron bookstacks and forty kilometers of shelving. It served as the principal reading room of the British Library until the collection relocated to St Pancras in 1997. After restoration, the Reading Room reopened in 2000 for general visitors, later hosting major exhibitions from 2007 to 2013 before closing for archival use until reopening in 2023.
The British Museum, located in Bloomsbury, London, was established in 1753 and opened in 1759 as the worldâs first national public museum. Originally housed in Montagu House, it now occupies a grand neoclassical building designed by Sir Robert Smirke, constructed between 1823 and 1852 on the same site. The museumâs encyclopedic collection of over eight million objects spans over two million years of human history, with major highlights including the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, and the Sutton Hoo treasures--many of which remain the subject of ongoing repatriation discussions.
