The new Queanbeyan Library (2024). Photographed for the BookSpaces project - www.frame49.photography .
Some reviewers have asked why I do not include more people in my library photographs, after all, a library is worthless unless there are people to borrow items. A modern library is more than a storehouse for books.
Most libraries impose limits on my BookSpaces photography. More often than not, the difficulties associated with including people in my photographs outweigh the benefits. Libraries do not have control over their patrons. It would be too disruptive to seek permission from every person likely to be in shot.
I am planning to have models work with me in future shoots - to make these spaces look more inhabited.

Powell Library is the main college undergraduate library on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It was constructed from 1926 to 1929 and was one of the original four buildings that comprised the UCLA campus in the early period of the university's life. Its Romanesque Revival architecture design, its historic value and its popularity with students make it one of the defining images of UCLA. Like the building facing it across the quad, Royce Hall, the building's exterior is modeled after Milan's Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio.

I used to go to a bookstore with that name.
The library is a great place to find books that are inspirational.
Travel, cooking , biography, mystery, etc.
With more than 10,000 books to its credit is one of the largest botanical libraries in the world. It is a pride for those who contribute to the recovery of books on botany. The construction is a beautiful English style very common in the late nineteenth century in the country. Botanic garden of Buenos Aires city. Argentina.
I found sunlight's Innovative creative beauty in public library children's section. This indoor rainbow is from cheap crepe paper blocking out harsh south sunlight as high temperatures average 95-100+ on most summer afternoons in deep South Texas U.S.A. .

Different from my other work, I still can't help but like this shot. It's from the interior of the Seattle Public Library. Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus of OMA/LMN were the principal architects.
Domed expansion/addition by architects Mosher Drew was completed in 1997. Original library project completed in 1970, and named for university president Malcolm A. Love in 1971.
This is Vancouver, Washington's latest addition to the library system I photographed about 2 years ago.
The 11-story glass and steel building in downtown Seattle, Washington was opened to the public on Sunday, May 23, 2004. The building was designed by the dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and has a unique, striking appearance, consisting of several discrete "floating platforms" seemingly wrapped in a large steel net around glass skin.
Panorama mode on the iPhone required, as normal photo just couldn’t get wide enough to include the tram and the Library building together
The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus[ (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila (consul, 110 AD). The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a mausoleum for Celsus, who is buried in a crypt beneath the library.
The interior of the library was destroyed, supposedly by an earthquake in 262 A.D., and the façade by another earthquake in the tenth or eleventh century A.D. It lay in ruins for centuries, until the façade was re-erected (anastylosis) by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978. (From Wikipedia)
The other side. Actually I was lost and was going round and round around the library!

Interior of the library in The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens :)
The library building was designed in 1920 by the southern California architect Myron Hunt in the Mediterranean Revival style. The library contains a substantial collection of rare books and manuscripts, concentrated in the fields of British and American history, literature, art, and the history of science. Highlights include one of copies of the Gutenberg Bible (from 1455), and letters and manuscripts by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln. It also holds the manuscript of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Isaac Newton's personal copy of his "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" with annotations in Newton's own hand. The library's main exhibition hall showcases some of the most outstanding rare books and manuscripts in the collection, while the West Hall of the library hosts rotating exhibitions.
