December 26

.

The library was closed on the 24th, so we returned books and got some more on the 27th.

Looking east. Unedited view, including dead bugs on the outside of the window, glare, etc. But isn't the sky cool?

Multi-purpose room at the library.  In the winter, this room is often set up as a play area for very little kids.

Blinds and chairs; sunshine and shadows.

You walk along beside this area to get to the door, which is just to the left of this pic.  I love the shiny chairs and tables, and the bamboo.

Looking up.  Light (natural and artificial), and ventilation.  The library has worked hard to have the branches which have been constructed in the last decade or so be as green as possible.  This building is built over a wetland area (hence the pond at the east end).  The east end of the building is on pillars or piers or whatever the right name is, raised above the wet ground underneath.  The west end rests on higher ground.

Outside the library, looking south.  Interesting clouds.
