Designed by architects Alsop and Störmer and opened in 2000. It was awarded the Stirling Prize for Architecture in that same year.
The city library is in the former fire station. Apart from books there are computers for public use and staff who know lots.
More than a place for books, it's a cultural center with poetry club meets, yoga sessions, local art exhibitions, and a warm place to hang out in the cold months.
If you are lucky enough to have a public library, please use it. Or lose it.

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 main branch of Vancouver's Public Library is shaped like the Colosseum, with a covered arcade running around the perimeter - an essential design feature in Vancouver's rainy winters.

There is a small garden next to the former royal residence of King Rama I. It afforded me some very welcome shade and a place to sit for a few minutes

This is my little tribute to all those writers who made me live wonderful adventures when I was a child and those who are bringing me new stories.

State Library Victoria opened in 1854 as the Melbourne Public Library, making it Australia's oldest public library and one of the first free libraries in the world. It is also Australia's busiest public library and, as of 2023, the third busiest library globally.

Voar voar, subir subir, ir por onde for,
Descer até o céu cair ou mudar de cor,
Anjos de gás, asas de ilusão,
E um sonho audaz, feito um balão!

The domed ceiling of the Library of Parliament in Ottawa.
The Library of Parliament (French: Bibliothèque du Parlement) is the main information repository and research resource for the Parliament of Canada. The main branch of the library sits at the rear of the Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, and is the last untouched part of that larger building's original incarnation after it burned down in 1916. The library has been augmented and renovated a number of times since its construction in 1876, the last between 2002 and 2006, though the form and decor remain essentially authentic. The building today serves as a Canadian icon, and appears on the obverse of the Canadian ten-dollar bill.
The library is overseen by the Parliamentary Librarian of Canada and an associate or assistant librarian. The Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate and the Parliamentary Budget Officer are also considered to be officers of the library.
