The library was opened by the Queen in 1962, replacing the nearby former Carnegie Library of 1908. This view from the car park above The Arndale Centre was taken in 1984. The Co-op store in the background has long-gone, replaced by the Galaxy cinema complex, whilst I think that the Strathmore Hotel in the foreground closed late last year. Note the row of K8 telephone boxes down below.

TU Delft - Library
Het markante gebouw van TU Delft Library is een ontwerp van Mecanoo architecten. Eigenlijk is het niet alleen een gebouw, maar ook een landschap.
Symbool voor techniek
Het grasveld wordt aan een punt opgetild en ondersteund door kolommen. De grote hal die zo ontstaat, is voorzien van glazen gevels. De helling wordt doorbroken door een lome trap die naar de entree leidt. Een enorme kegel priemt door het beloopbare grasdak. De kegel staat symbool voor techniek en geeft vorm aan de ronde, introverte leeszalen.
Immense boekenkast
De boeken zijn uitgestald in een immense boekenkast, die zich uitstrekt van de begane grond tot aan het plafond van de vierde verdieping. De plaatsing van boeken, tijdschriften en computers is afgestemd op de baan van het licht.

Where i spend many mornings pricing and organizing used books for our Friends of the Bethlehem Library organization. It's a tight squeeze and the book carts help-we roll them out to a bigger room during our sales.

The library at Carnatic is being dismantled and the books are being given to charity. It's been out of use for 2 years. The library still has a paper catalogue, and the old-style date stamps.

This is a little old university library along the Rua da Escola Politécnica. I just popped in and took pictures. Looks beautiful, well maintained.
I took this picure in the UIUC undergraduate library. Luckily, the book I was looking for was still on a shelf, so I didn't have to navigate the piles.

Far bedroom bounced off one of the walls.
That middle space was all ambient and was windowed on both side so was really bright.

Bounced off ceiling above camera then a second exposure with the flash bounced off ceiling at the other end of this room and hand blended in to give some nice shadows etc.
I'm not 100% happy with the ceiling, I tried using a ambient frame but it just looked wrong...
The final days of Plymouth's Central Library in the layout it's had for the past few years.
The Lending Library is much as it was when it opened in 1956.
The Reference Library has already been transformed into the History Room, but the banks of PCs will move.
The Scott Room, former Scott Lecture Theatre, will become the Scott Computer Room with most computers located there.
The former Local and Naval Studies Library will complete its transformation into the Quiet Room - a haven of peace in a busy city centre and already much appreciated by users.
The Music and Drama Library, in its present location for the past ten years, will move into the main body of the ground floor and its place will be taken by the Fiction collection.
Even the Children's Library will see some changes with a new entrance door.
At the same time, the library converts to self-service and the obsolete 3M security system is replaced by something that actually works.
Books filed according to an AGS Classification scheme based on Geography. They return classed using the LC system which is topical first, then geographical. Notice the books are shelved end to end on each shelf.

What if the #savelibraries campaign had taken place in World War One? How might it have been fought? I found some posters - some well known, others not - from the period and adapted them. I hope you enjoy them and find them useful.

University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton
The Library, 1964.
It was my daughter's Applicants' Day at the University of Sussex, so we headed down to Brighton. It is more than thirty years since I was a student there, and I haven't set foot on the campus since, until yesterday.
The University was one of the dozen or so new campus universities of the 1960s, mostly set in the grounds of former Big Houses (in Sussex's case, Stanmer Park) and designed by leading architects of the day. At Sussex this was Sir Basil Spence, who had recently completed Coventry Cathedral. The idea was a red brick Italianate hill village, climbing up into the South Downs, designed for about 2,500 students, though there are probably four times that many now.
I was never really very happy at Sussex, although as Philip Larkin observed of Coventry, it's not the place's fault after all. I was a post-graduate education student, and I had done my first degree in the centre of lovely, friendly Sheffield. I had partly chosen the University because the family of a girlfriend of the time had recently moved to Brighton (the University's high reputation was no doubt secondary). As you will no doubt have guessed, the relationship had ended before I arrived at Sussex.
Everybody seems to love Brighton, and they can't understand it when I say that I don't, but I was too miserable there. Brighton, for me, will be forever associated with debt, and with the transience of being a student. There has never been a time in my life, before or since, when I have been so poor. And then, extraordinarily, a brief, doomed relationship, a love affair, became the one vivid thing, a brief, sweet memory of my year in that brash town.
How narrow was the single bed we shared, how intense those brief few weeks. And she loved me more than I could possibly have loved her, for I had already met the woman who would become my wife. And so it was messy, and then it ended. My most dramatic memory of our time together is of leaving her flat shortly before daylight on an October morning and cycling back to my own house only to be stopped by a police roadblock, because the IRA had bombed the Grand Hotel half an hour earlier.
The University campus has expanded since I was there, but is still entirely graspable. The wide-open spaces and reflections of water under arches that Basil Spence aimed at are now overwhelmed by blocks in the same red brick but without any life to them whatsoever. I thought it was a shame. And yet, the campus still has the intensely intellectual vibe of a major University sequestered in the hills, the thrill of promise and the energy of youth. In some ways it was good to be back.
