I never tire of visiting the Central Library in Birmingham. There are so many floors and so many angles to photograph, not to mention all those fabulous books, archives, maps and manuscripts.
Finally got to explore the gorgeous Halifax Library today. The best building in Halifax no question! It's taken me for ever and a day to visit it, but it didn't disappoint, more to come from here.
This is a completely changed photo of the Salt Lake City library from the outside. I really messed with this photo, for Slider's Sunday Group.
Edited in Topaz ReStyle, one of their vintage programs.
See original in first comment.
HSS everyone! Happy Slider's Sunday!
"La majoria dels nostres problemes es poden resoldre.
Alguns d'ells requereixen cervell,
alguns d'ells paciència,
i tots els haurem de lluitar
com fa un caiman en un pantà."

I was fortunate to travel to the East Coast with 8th graders for 18 years. We started in Boston
and ended in Washington DC. I'm working on a book of images from our trips.
Today I finished the Brooklyn Public Library's "Browse The Branches" challenge. Collecting a sticker for my booklet at each branch visited. It's been a lot of fun visiting all the different neighborhoods. Brooklyn Public Library has 62 branches and a bookmobile.
Each of the branches had something special about it and this one - the Stone Avenue Branch in Brownsville, Brooklyn was not only the last branch I visited but also one of my favorites.
The building was one of the last Carnegie libraries built in Brooklyn and opened in September, 1914. Originally it was the Brownsville Children's Library and believed to be the first library in the world devoted to serving children. On its 100th Anniversary in 2014 the branch underwent renovations. The back wall that can be seen in the photo is a Word Wall displaying Fry Words - the 1,000 words most used in reading and writing.
Qatar National Library, designed by OMA, Rem Koolhaas, is located at Education City, Doha, Qatar. It was designed in 2008 - 2010 and built in 2012 - 2017.
David Walsh's extensive personal library is housed at MONA and can be accessed through this tunnel. Like all spaces inside MONA there are wonderful tricks of light and perspective, as can be seen to some degree in this shot.
I took this photo nearly 9 years ago in rural Maine. Posting it today because publicly funded libraries are important resources in a truly free society.
Libraries are a priceless resource worth our support.
The Rose Main Reading Room, New York Public Library, March 2017
Would love to return to the City to see this historic landmark once again...
The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!
