Public Library, Southborough, MA. Restocking the shelves in the children's room after the July flood.
The Library of Celsus is Ephesus's best known landmark, owing to the remarkable preservation of it's facade which, having collapsed at some point in the Middle Ages was meticulously pieced back together and re-erected in the late1970s (with a concealed stell frame to protect against further earthquake damage).
Ephesus is justly famed as one of the finest ancient Roman sites anywhere. The ruins of the city are extensive with many impressive monuments to amaze the visitor (that have often been partially reassembled to give an indication of their former glory and context).
Unfortunately the fame and popularity of the site means that, unlike most of the classical sites we visited elsewhere, it is constantly crowded with tourists. However the city has always attracted visitors, and among those who spent time here centuries ago were St Paul and St John (and possibly Mary herself if one believes in the authenticity of her nearby residence).
Popplet rocks! This online tool helped me put my thoughts together. I think it will be a great tool for students to use, too! There are so many options...pdf, jpeg, online presentation, online collaboration. It should work well on the ipad too, though I have not set that up yet.

"A stripper with nothing to hide - but murder."
"... another murder-a-minute thriller that lets you peek behind the scenes in the strip business and leaves you as limp as a discarded G-string!"
Possibly ghost-written by Craig Rice
Square modern block, quite different from the ornate buildings that surround it. Very busy inside though - I had to frame these photos carefully!

The first of four libraries to be built in Bournemouth following a donation of £10,000 from Carnegie.
It opened on 26 October, 1907.
It was busy when I visited, but the librarian explained the back of the building used to house a bindery, but once that was no longer needed, it was refurbished and now houses a children's centre.
The street off to the right is called Library Road!

View of Powell library through the pillars of Royce Hall.
Love the details seen on the pillars along with the brick details. Too bad the sky is a bit overblown.

The HEB Buddy came by the library to take pictures with the kids, and he brought along a helper who had snacks for the kids and read them a story!
with my name on it TWICE.
edit march 21 2011: this is a library card from london in the camden borough. i went to the heath library most frequently [keats' old house! but it was under construction the entire time i was there, fail] but sometimes i went to two other ones in the neighborhood: swiss cottage and i think belsize park. but i liked the heath library best, as it had a coffee table inside and a lovely dome roof and a cat. when i was in london i reread all three books of philip pullman's his dark materials trilogy, which i had already read but which i love dearly. i also read some comics and probably some other books but i remember hdm most clearly. i got them all from the library! thanks camden borough!
sadly, i left london before i got to pay my 87 pence overdue fine. it is my dearest wish to go back there and give them the money as i felt very bad for forgetting to pay and i think it may have cast a poor shadow on the place where i lived and worked. mind, this was also in 2008.

Where you like to work on group projects - Library
Why is it a good place for group work? Lots of research at out use and great place to compile all of it
This library was divided into black and white with the collection space being black, to show off the collection, and the client spaces being white.
Sand Creek Library, Colorado Springs, Colorado was completed in 2008. This remodel uses bold elements to establish energy and interest. Community room, teen area, children’s library, study rooms, public computers and a reading room are part of this library.
Group3 Planners selected the furniture. The other project team member is Humphries Poli Architects.

“The Library Committee beg to announce that TEN POPULAR LECTURES will be given in the LECTURE HALL... The Committee earnestly hope that the Public will endeavour, by their sympathy and presence, to make the Lectures a success.”
[From a 1906 brochure.]
From the outset the Committee made it their mission both to educate and to entertain the public. A Lecture Hall was incorporated in the design of the building, and the 1906/7 season launched with Rev F R Smith assuming the character John Ackworth in a presentation entitled “Clog-Shop Chronicles”. Other highlights included Mr Parkington's “Playground of Europe: Switzerland (With Lantern Illustrations)”, Mr W A Gilby's “A Night With The Poets” and Rev J H G Bates speaking on “Cremation”.
A second season of lectures began on 21 October 1907 with “Local Surnames and Place Names” by Henry Brierley. Those whose interest in Switzerland had been piqued by Mr Parkington's presentation a year earlier were rewarded on 24 February 1908 when Rev F W Beaumont gave his “Wanderings in Glorious Switzerland”.
At the conclusion of season two the Committee reported: “The course proved even more successful than that of last year, the Lecture Hall being uncomfortably crowded on several occasions. The average attendance was 350” (Wigan Archives, ref. UD Ash/A/A3/1/2). It should be remembered of course that, apart from sporting and church/chapel events, and the occasional travelling shows and fairs that pitched up on the marketplace, there was little else in the way of public entertainment in Ashton at this time. Faced with competition from The Hippodrome -later The Scala Cinema- on Heath Road and the two cinemas in Ashton town centre -the Palace and the Queen's- that had opened just before the outbreak of the First World War, the Library Committee's offering began to incorporate more light-hearted performances such as recitals by the Ashton in Makerfield Choral Society and, in 1946, a sing-along at the piano led by the actress Violet Carson.
As the Library's first centenary approached, the Lecture Hall was rarely being used except for the occasional public meeting or sale of surplus library stock. A decision was made to incorporate the space into the library proper. It now serves as a dedicated area for children.
