ODC-Library
This Library is in the town of Ulysses, NY. and in the Village of Trumansburg and in Tompkins Country. I think I need to go to the Library and look that up! Philomathic refers to the love of study and learning.
I'd seen photos of the Rotterdam Central Library online before I went which is just as well Libraries aren't the most obvious tourist destinations. I didn't have long to explore as I got there just before closing but I did ride to the top of the escalators to get this shot looking down.

From the Rotterdam Tourist Information website : "Rotterdam’s Central Library is in the Laurenskwartier district in the city centre. In 1983, the library moved into a modern building on the Hoogstraat road. It is a striking construction with steel tubing running from the roof down the glass frontage. It was designed by the Van den Broek and Bakema architectural practice and is often compared to the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
The library’s total surface area is 24,000 square metres and makes it one of the largest libraries in the Netherlands. It has 12 rooms, each with its own character. These spaces can be used to stage congresses, events or meetings."

Yesterday my sister and I visited our cousin in West Vancouver. He has Alzheimer's disease and lives in the Maison Senior Living - Memory Care. The place was beautiful and he seemed genuinely happy there.
May I suggest enlarging the picture to see the activities of people using the library area.
My Library and office, at home...
LUGINSLAND (German for "With a Country View") is our home in northern California. Architecturally designed by the late John Colm of San Francisco, and built by Dave Stroebel, with interiors and landscape design by Angelo (Buzz) Forniciari. Surrounded 270 degrees by Robert Trent Jones golf course, the estate was built in 1990, incorporating house parts from around the Globe.
Slate roof from China, marble floors from Italy, Malaysia, Formosa, Mexico, and Indonesia, The front doors on the home were hand carved in Borreon, Spain in the year 1650. Interior doors are also from the Castellon de la Plana area of the Costa Azuhar. Rugs are mostly Persian, and various pieces of furniture are antique and come from Brazil, Italy, Slovenia, Germany and China.
Here in the Library is a marvelous tribal rug from Afghanistan, the desk is an old converted Quarter Grand Piano made of Brazilian Rosewood and came from a sugar plantation in Mannaus, Brazil. The old coffee table is an antique Hindu temple door. The fireplace is limestone from France, and the fabrics are Robert Allen. The old piano is a Chickering, dated 1906 and has been in my wife's family from the beginning. The marble floors are limestone from Ipoh, Malaysia. The ornate desk chairs are Spanish. The small armoire is from Sumatra. The urns are Aubusson. The table lamp is solid alabaster and comes from Italy.

This extraordinary library and museum grew out of the private collection of banker JP Morgan. It holds thousands of rare and valuable books, manuscripts, and artifacts (including multiple Gutenberg Bibles). The cultural riches on display are overwhelming, and unsettling - a testament to the vast power of one incredibly wealthy man, who took for himself whatever part of the world's heritage he desired. The library opened to the public in 1924, nine years after his death, as per his will.

I love it when I'm out shooting some other things and I happen upon one of these small neighborhood libraries.

Ungewöhnlich präsentiert sich die Bibliothek des kleinen Städtchens Alcobaca mit den beiden Wächtern, die ein grosses eisernes Herz flankieren...
Was es bedeuten soll, habe ich mich schon gefragt.
Ist Bildung eher Herzensangelegenheit?
Macht Lesen kopflos? ;-)
This is the external facade of the Perth City Library including the extensive remediation building works. But it is good the library is still operating, with a dedicated children's floor that is accessible only to parents and their kids. I quite often pop into a library when travelling, just to see what is different and interesting.

I loved this building... but not everyone did. Architects were Norton Curtis & Assoc. The building was constructed in the late 1960s and opened in 1970. When I was in grad school (in the 90s!), I used to study here. People used to say that it was dark inside... but I don't remember that at all. I loved that you entered on a bridge hovering over sunken gardens. I loved that the architects really made an effort to integrate the design with the Civic Center across the street, which was built in the mid 1930s in a Spanish Colonial / Mission Revival style. Note the library's arched windows. Anyway, people either loved or hated this building, and the opinions were strong. It came down in the 2000s for an extension of the convention center... the main building of which I find hideous. Speaking of strong opinions... LOL.
The ceiling of the library of the Technical University of Berlin. I guess I got little too carried away with the postprocessing since the atmosphere here is little dark and jail like
Hadrian's Library was created by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132 on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens.

Canada Water Library in front of Surrey Quays, with Columbia Point on the left, Regina Point behind the library, and Ontario Point on the right. You can also see the Shard and the Cheesegrater in the distance if you look closely enough. Shot with a 10 stop filter on shortly before sunset.

Some weeks ago I had the chance to take some shots in the library of Stuttgart. It was the first time I visited the library and I had no big expectations. Of course the pictures you find online are really great but on the other hand side I doubted that I am able to get such shots because of several reasons:
a) I was not sure if my lense would be wide enough
b) I am aware what lightroom and photoshop can do
c) I never really used filters in such scenarios
d) and of course I know me as photographer (the most risky factor)
So no ideal conditions at all…I am not sure about the picture but I guess it’s not so bad ;-)...
But anyway I can just encourage everyone to visit the library because the architecture is just phenomenal. I was really amazed! So the trip to Stuttgart was more than worthwhile.
Here are some info about the library:

The eclipse on Thursday morning. I was going to go behind the Supreme Court to get the sun behind the Peace Tower, but there were cranes everywhere, so I had to change plans at the last minute. I got it coming up near the Library of Parliament from a nearby bridge viewpoint instead. You'd be surprised how fast it moves sideways as it rises, I had to keep moving after every few shots.
