I never tire of visiting the Central Library in Birmingham. There are so many floors and so many angles to photograph, not to mention all those fabulous books, archives, maps and manuscripts.

This is a completely changed photo of the Salt Lake City library from the outside. I really messed with this photo, for Slider's Sunday Group.
Edited in Topaz ReStyle, one of their vintage programs.
See original in first comment.
HSS everyone! Happy Slider's Sunday!
And I don't believe you live in a library
Sleeping with a book-blanket out at sea
The next time I wake up I want to be
In a rabbit hole to the sound of you
Making coffee
Stopped in the other day to checkout the ponds and they had put up a fence so decided I couldn't walk back to the sidewalk and then climb back up the hill so just took the fence and came on home.. Happy Fence Friday, Everybody!!

Today I finished the Brooklyn Public Library's "Browse The Branches" challenge. Collecting a sticker for my booklet at each branch visited. It's been a lot of fun visiting all the different neighborhoods. Brooklyn Public Library has 62 branches and a bookmobile.
Each of the branches had something special about it and this one - the Stone Avenue Branch in Brownsville, Brooklyn was not only the last branch I visited but also one of my favorites.
The building was one of the last Carnegie libraries built in Brooklyn and opened in September, 1914. Originally it was the Brownsville Children's Library and believed to be the first library in the world devoted to serving children. On its 100th Anniversary in 2014 the branch underwent renovations. The back wall that can be seen in the photo is a Word Wall displaying Fry Words - the 1,000 words most used in reading and writing.
David Walsh's extensive personal library is housed at MONA and can be accessed through this tunnel. Like all spaces inside MONA there are wonderful tricks of light and perspective, as can be seen to some degree in this shot.
Finally got to explore the gorgeous Halifax Library today. The best building in Halifax no question! It's taken me for ever and a day to visit it, but it didn't disappoint, more to come from here.
The Rose Main Reading Room, New York Public Library, March 2017
Would love to return to the City to see this historic landmark once again...
This is the second floor of the BEAUTIFUL Multnomah County Library. In Portland Oregon.
It dates its existence from 1864, a time when Portland was a frontier town with frame buildings, muddy streets and few sidewalks. A small group of Portland citizens met to establish a subscription library and reading room, organizing under the name "Library Association of Portland."
And this is what was finally established, an incredibly fantastic piece of architecture. I almost break into song everytime I walk in but they SHUSH me.
SHHHH! SHHHHHHHHHH! I get sick of it.
The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!
I took this photo nearly 9 years ago in rural Maine. Posting it today because publicly funded libraries are important resources in a truly free society.
Libraries are a priceless resource worth our support.
Charlecote Park has one of the finest libraries in the care of the National Trust. The nucleus of the collection was formed in the early 17th century by Sir Thomas Lucy III (1585-1640) and his wife Alice, who were both book-lovers. Precious survivals from their time include a finely illuminated late 14th-century Book of Hours. In the 19th century George Hammond Lucy (1789-1845) built a new Elizabethan Revival library and he filled it with suitably Elizabethan books.
Charlecote Park in Warwickshire has been the seat of the Lucy family since 1247; the house was built in the 1550s. It was extensively remodelled between 1826-67 for George Hammond Lucy and his wife Mary Elizabeth.
