The library of Celsus in Efes, in Western Turkey. Ancient Greek city on a site that has been occupied for over 8000 years. During the Greek Period it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. Ephesus was one of seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of St. John may have been written in Ephesus and the ruins of the Basilica of St. John and his burial site are nearby. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was located here. The theatre of Ephesus could hold 25,000 people. Check out my Ephesus album for more images.
The Library of Parliament (1876) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, stands on a bluff overlooking the Ottawa River. French explorer Samuel de Champlain passed here in 1613.

Hadrian's Library was a large library in ancient Athens. Today it gets an unusual visit.
The library with a reading room with more than 65,000 volumes of books and journals is one of the oldest and most important specialised libraries for art and the fine crafts in this part of Europe.
Designed by architects Alsop and Störmer and opened in 2000. It was awarded the Stirling Prize for Architecture in that same year.
No, the main reading room in the New York Public Library. Completely forgot how this building is so spectacular.

The public Library in my home town is a building that was converted after being destroyed in the bombing raids of March 1945. Historically it used to be an administration building for the diocese of Paderborn.

The library, also known as the Calgary New Central Library (NCL), is a public library in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and the flagship branch of the Calgary Public Library system. The building is located in the Downtown East Village neighborhood and opened on November 1, 2018.
The four-storey building cost CA$245 million to construct and was designed by American-Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta and Canadian firm DIALOG after the two firms' joint bid won a design competition in 2013.
Their design features an oval-like form and an interior with a large central atrium with a skylight. (Notes from Wikipedia)
The State Hall, the heart of the Austrian National Library, is one of the most beautiful library halls in the world. It is the biggest Baroque library in Europe.

Human Size books - I started "collecting" vintage books when I found a bunch in my grandmother's attic two summers ago. They belonged to my grandfather, his uncle, and some of my uncles. The earliest date is 1898, one from 1901, another 1911, some from the 1920-30s, some from later.
On this shelf, the Lone Ranger (1940) and Tarzan (1934) were in my grandmother's attic. Wilderness Empire (1969) was on her bookshelf. I just bought Great Expectations for a quarter this week at the thrift store. I bought some for the color of the fabric at a flea market for a quarter each (mostly greens). I have a lamp stacked on some books on an old wash basin in my hallway. I like them for decorating and I love having the ones from my family - 120 years old!

Somewhere between Monticello, Colorado and Gallup, New Mexico - I think. Taken while cruising through the southwest with shadowplay a few weeks ago.
