George Peabody Library, focused research library of The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.
Angled shot of library. This space was absolutely a joy to shoot and I got it while it was relatively quiet in terms of foot traffic.
The Handley Library in Winchester Virginia framed by the blossoms.
This is the start of a self imposed project that I have been wanting to work on for a while now, and that is photographing Winchester and Frederick County with a monochromatic minds eye. Shooting with the intent of monochrome imagery really slows me down and study the composition, and shooting with only primes makes me work for that comp.
Technically not a "library" shelfie, as these books are all in the living room rather than the library. Those shelves are too packed to fit a Blythe!
This is from a set of photographs I took when I visited the location back in December.
This was taken very closeup and has some crazy perspective distortion due to the proximity and wide-angle lens. I didn't post this one at the time as there were some annoying cranes messing up parts of the frame, but now with Adobe's new AI tools I can remove them much more easily and effectively ...
Our local library has monthly shows in the Seating Area and asked if I'd be willing since the person who was originally schedule couldn't follow through so an opportunity to stress out and put it together.

The National Library of Australia, Canberra.
I took a crisp focus shot of the library and also an out-of-focus 'bokeh' shot. I 'sort of' liked each of them, but wanted them together. So this is my composite. I'd like to think that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. (Or, maybe I'm just trying too much new stuff at once...)
Latvias national library and quite a statement building.
I'd been thinking about how to do this building justice and in the end I've gone for this dark sky approach to accentuate the buildings shape and form.

The Biblioteca Palatina or Palatina Library was established in 1761 in the city of Parma by Philip Bourbon, Duke of Parma.
It is one of the cultural institutions located in the Palazzo della Pilotta complex in the center of Parma
The Cumberland Library, in Rhode Island, was a Trappist monastery before it was a library. Originally called Monastery of Our Lady of the Valley, this Gothic structure housed 140 monks until being ravished by a fire in the 1950s.
Afterward, the monks relocated to a new monastery and the remaining buildings were repurposed into the Cumberland Public Library.
Since then, rumors of hauntings in the older parts of the building began to spread. Sightings of ghostly monks, unexplained sounds and the like have been reported by employees and patrons.
A short walk through the forest surrounding the monastery turned library will lead you to Nine Men's Misery--a haunted mass grave of nine colonial soldiers that were tortured to death three hundred years ago.
Hadrian's Library was created by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132 on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens.
The building followed a typical Roman forum architectural style, having only one entrance with a propylon of Corinthian order, a high surrounding wall with protruding niches (oikoi, exedrae) at its long sides, an inner courtyard surrounded by columns and a decorative oblong pool in the middle. The library was on the eastern side where rolls of papyrus "books" were kept. Adjoining halls were used as reading rooms, and the corners served as lecture halls.

WIT: These are the steps of the library. Took the shot, cropped to square, and desaturated a little in photoshop.
The public library in Seattle has an impressive architecture. This is a shot from an upper floor down to the entrance floor. People are looking for references in shelves with cards. There is a carpet with a tangle pattern.

The starfield library is aesthetically designed and spans from the 4th floor to the 7th floor in the middle of the recently opened shopping mall. You can read books, magazines, and use the tablets set up on the 4th floor. Books are displayed on the walls from the 4th to the 7th floor but are out of reach.
Here is the British Library. It contains many amazing treasures, including one of the original copies of Magna Carta. The building has been awarded Grade I listing, which I do not understand. However, I came to look at what is inside, and not the building.
(Then) Prince Charles described the building as looking like "an academy for secret police" and the late Sir Gerald Kaufman MP said it was "about as glamorous as a public lavatory."
I have lived in Washington DC almost twenty years and have visited most of the museums, buildings and attractions at one time or another. To me, the most impressive is the Thomas Jefferson Building, the oldest and most recognizable Library of Congress building.
I have visited the LOC a few times but never attempted to get photos until my last visit. The scale is simply overwhelming. My lack of experience for indoor, architectural photography did not do justice to the grandeur of the place, but hopefully this short series will be of some interest. To me it's a must-see for any visit to DC.

Imagine working here, Queensland's smallest library in the outback town of McKinlay between Cloncurry and Winton. I was surprised it had a library, such a small town in the middle of nowhere.
The library is the front building, not the back one behind it!

This week Deering Library at Northwestern University has been lit up by Marco Rotelli's light installation.
According to the Northwestern website, "Rotelli took inspiration from the famous Dylan Thomas poem “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” and its refrain “Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light.” The light installation will celebrate the triumph of the human spirit over the forces of cold and melancholy -- with lines from Shakespeare, Dante, Dickinson and others projected onto Deering’s soaring façade." The Daily Northwestern also has a nice article.
What do you think: the original title mentions the "Three Graces," but is the tree in the foreground the Bachelor tree in the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias?

Now we are going to the library :)
The library building was designed in 1920 by the southern California architect Myron Hunt in the Mediterranean Revival style. The library contains a substantial collection of rare books and manuscripts, concentrated in the fields of British and American history, literature, art, and the history of science. Highlights include one of copies of the Gutenberg Bible (from 1455), and letters and manuscripts by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln. It also holds the manuscript of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Isaac Newton's personal copy of his "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" with annotations in Newton's own hand. The library's main exhibition hall showcases some of the most outstanding rare books and manuscripts in the collection, while the West Hall of the library hosts rotating exhibitions.
