My son got his own library card! He's a regular library goer and just had this conversation with his dad a while ago:
Son: Let's go to the library!
Dad: No, we're going home now.
Son: We live in a library!
Nice try, kid! :D
This time he wanted to borrow one of those Bob the Builder dvd's. It's Puuha Pete in Finnish.

Title : Denver Central Library
Other title : Denver Public Library; Central Library
Creator : Michael Graves Architect; Klipp Colussy Jenks Dubois Architects; Hoyt, Burnham F., 1887-1967
Creator role : Architect
Date : 1956 (original stucture) 1995 (addition)
Current location : Denver, Colorado, United States
Description of work : Denver Central Library, the eighth largest library in the U.S., is located on Civic Center Park between the city's art museum and history museum in the Civic Center Cultural Complex. In 1995 a renovation of the existing 133,000-square-foot library, designed by Burnham Hoyt and completed in 1956, added an expansion of 405,000 square feet. The scale and coloration of the expansion, as well as the individualized massing of its components, allow the original library to maintain its own identity as one element of a larger composition. Two public entrances establish an east-west axis through the Great Hall, a three-story vaulted public room of urban scale, which is the focal point for visitor orientation and circulation. The south-facing rotunda contains specialized functional areas such as the reference room and periodicals center, with the Western History Reading Room above.

Leuven, Belgium. The university library was destroyed by fire in the First World War so this replacement was built, by American subscription, in 1921. This too was destroyed in World War Two and has been rebuilt to the original plans.
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 late 1970s (with a concealed steel 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).
Yesterday evening, many members of the Friendswood library community gathered to hear Dr. Ted Estess, founding Dean of the honors college at the University of Houston, read stories from his fine book The Cream Pitcher: Mississippi Stories. These stories reflect upon the lives of the Estess family in the region of the Cream Pitcher of the Mississippi, or Walthall County, Tylertown, Mississippi. Dr. Estess read stories The Cream, Clabber, and Whey of Everything, Making Arrangements, along with other wonderful family stories. One audience member commented that these stories felt just like her own family stories, and that Dr. Estess really knew how to express them in a meaningful way. Dr. Ted Estess is also a scholar on the works of nobel laureate and author of Night, Elie Wiesel. The Friendswood Public Library hopes to have him back to share his knowledge on Elie Wiesel sometime in the not too distant future.
