The public library at CS Lewis Square, on the Newtownards Road, in East Belfast.
Photographed with the Nikon FM3a on Ilford HP5, ISO400 film and developed in Fotospeed FD10.
The library is very warm and comfortable....though my preference is scrolls over books. Time moves forward and who am I to stop it?
My third version of this, one of Manchester's finest and best-loved buildings.
The library was opened in 1934 by King George V.......
"The royals were whisked off to the second floor where there was a Reception Room and private apartments usually used by the Chairman of Committee. As there was no plumbing on that side of the building two Elsans [toilets] had been provided for royal use. The King drank a welcome whisky and soda and the Queen a cup of tea from a newly-purchased tea-service that later went into the Town Hall china closets." (Hilda McGill, former member of staff)

Running out of new photography due to the lockdown and looking back to some older images - in this case the Library of Birmingham in January 2014
umm, looking for other photos for work-related reasons, but this reminds me of those brilliant "tilt-shift" photography photos come across recently via boingboing.com. but, this is just a real scene taken from the top level of the state library of victoria.
Manchester Central Library is the headquarters of the city's library and information service in Manchester, England. Facing St Peter's Square, it was designed by E. Vincent Harris and constructed between 1930 and 1934. At its opening, one critic wrote, "This is the sort of thing which persuades one to believe in the perennial applicability of the Classical canon". The form of the building, a columned portico attached to a rotunda domed structure, is loosely derived from the Pantheon, Rome.
The library building is grade II* listed. A four-year project to renovate and refurbish the library commenced in 2010. Central Library re-opened on 22 March 2014.
This is a place you can always find ducks and geese.. and Flowers in season.. This is not the front of the building even tho it looks like it.. The front door is on the right side where the parking area is but I think this is a lot more beautiful... Happy Windows Wednesday, Everybody
