I absolutely love books and libraries, and I will probably want to post some things about both from time to time. I keep track of the books I read at LibraryThing so I won't list all of my books here, but I may have comments about books from time to time. Also, a few years ago I decided to "collect" libraries when I visit different places. I haven't been terribly consistent but I do have a few pics to share now and hopefully will have more in the future.

I visited the Roseville Branch of the Ramsey County library today. As I already mentioned on the Home Page, I think it must be the best library I've ever seen. I took a lot of pictures - couldn't help it - had to do it!
Side of the library
One of the plaques explaining
the library's water conservation
Front of the library
A troop of girl scouts painted designs
in the parking lot in spaces for efficient vehicles
A plaque explaining the area's watershed system
In the outside children's garden, there are
bricks with quotes
A plaque explaining how water is collected
in the rain barrel.
The rain barrel
A plaque explaining the permeable membrane
which collects water to send to plants
Part of the rain barrel and permeable
membrane
Most of the permeable membrane with shade
sails over a sitting wall
A plaque showing how the water is diverted to
the plants in the garden
One of the gardens and the dry bed where
water flows to the gardens
A "twig house" where children can read
The view towards the library from the end
of the garden
