Sarasota's newest library

The first shot I took I accidentally left the flash on, cue much annoyed head turning and me trying to look like I was studying intently.

Library stacks.

Across from the Detroit Institute of Arts, you will find the main branch of the Detroit Public Library. According to wikipedia, it's the 20th largest library system in the country, and the second largest in the state of Michigan (UofM is first).

    

One of the best features of the library is its "Double Imperial Staircases'. Imperial staircases feature a single staircase going to a landing part of the way up. It then splits and goes to the final level via two separate staircases. DPL is REALLY special because it has two of these back to back.

    

It is hard to believe that the DPL grand staircase is probably one of the rarest in the world. It's a fine example of an "Imperial Staircase", but it's also a "Double".... with competition from such stairs as the Paris Garnier Opera House, the staircase at the Würzburg Residenz (palace of the Prince-Bishops), and the great staircase at the Royal Palace at Caserta (outside Naples). Not even the Palace of Versailles has a staircase as grand as that at the DPL.

  

The main branch is a great example of "Italian Renaissance" architecture. Designed by Cass Gilbert, the Detroit Public Library was constructed with Vermont marble and serpentine Italian marble trim. Among his other buildings, Cass Gilbert designed the United States Supreme Court Building in Washington, DC, the Minnesota State Capitol and the Woolworth Building in New York City.

The Neo Classical Facade remains but the interior could be the most ultra modern library in Britain.

This is our beloved study room/library. Our family loves to read. I think I will really love this lens :)

The starfield library is aesthetically designed and spans from the 4th floor to the 7th floor in the middle of the recently opened shopping mall. You can read books, magazines, and use the tablets set up on the 4th floor. Books are displayed on the walls from the 4th to the 7th floor but are out of reach.

The herbarium building I work in is old, I call it 'living urbex'. Plans are made to renovate. In the coming months I will try to capture as much as possible of what is there....

Getting access to the upper levels of the inner library isn't possible, so this photo was taken through a locked glass door on the second floor. This is a hand held photo taken with an Olympus OMD-M5 and processed in Lightroom 4. The level of detail is pretty amazing given all of the limiting factors and the fact that I didn't use HDR.

This a beautiful library in Riyadh called King Fahad Library, opening soon in 3 months can't wait to get inside and take pics

The striking new library at Queen's University, Belfast.

"Le Château de Chantilly abrite l’une des plus riches bibliothèques de France. Les trésors accumulés par les différents propriétaires de Chantilly ont été complétés et magnifiés avec passion par le duc d’Aumale, qui fut le plus grand bibliophile de son temps. Le Cabinet des livres aménagé par l’architecte Honoré Daumet à la fin du XIXe siècle forme un écrin pour les manuscrits des princes de Condé et les trésors du duc d’Aumale. Un hommage y est rendu au Grand Condé dont le buste, par Coysevox, attire le regard sur la cheminée, tandis que les armoiries des compagnons d’armes du prince ornent le plafond"

Using Sigma 10-20.

Would have liked to have been a bit further back, but was wedged between parked cars.

 

The Library at Hinton Ampner, Hampshire with Regency furniture and Ralph Dutton's collection of books. Ralph Dutton owned Hinton Ampner from 1935 until his death in 1985. The interiors were largely destroyed by a fire in 1960, but the Library was rebuilt as it had been before.

The dining room doubles as a library. We're going to get proper fitted shelves eventually...
