Day 12 Book Photo Challenge: Library or Book Store

I live in a relatively new suburb and consequently we don't yet have a library (and bookstores are pretty thin on the ground these days.)
I have, however, been following the progress of the building of the library that should open in April. Above is the drawing of what it should look like. I have been following this progress since we moved here 18 months ago and just 3 days ago my mum rang me to inform me that we were getting a library. Thank you mum.
Luckily I do work at a high school where a I am allowed to take out a large stack of books to last me over the summer holiday. Otherwise I would die....because I have so few books in my house hahahahaha.

Day 11 Book Photo Challenge: Book Shelf

I have published photos of my library before but this section of the shelf was hidden behind my reading chair. This is the main part of the shelf that I see when I'm sitting in my chair and reading. They make me feel comfortable.

Day 9 Book Photo Challenge: A Quote To Live By

Quote source Marcus Tullius Cicero (mostly) and I really do try and live by this quote as the vast majority of the rooms in my house have an ever increasing number of books in them. Also, a little proud of this because I painted and lettered this this morning. Think I might frame it and put it up in the library.

Day 29 Book Photo Challenge: My Bookshelf

I took this as a good opportunity to up date the photo I have of my library. I have other large book shelves around the house but this is the main area where I read. There was at some time in the past some sort of order to the books but that has been left by the wayside.

When we moved in the shelves were already attached to the wall which meant that our original plan of making this room into a pool room couldn’t happen. Its called the library because that is what button on the air conditioning calls it. And I couldn’t have been more delighted.   

So I Went Into The Library Looking for Some Ursula Le Guin......

So I went into my school library looking for some Ursula Le Guin and to cool down because half the school doesn't have air conditioning and it turns out they don't have any. The School is only 7 years old so they don't have the archive that you would expect of a library. 

But I got talking to our library lady and walked out with this haul for holiday reading.

When I walked buck into my office i got some jealous looks and some accusations of preferential treatment by some colleagues but I maintain that i don't know what they are talking about and anyone would get treated like i do if they are nice to everyone. And promptly blew raspberries at them.

When I got home they did have to undergo the sniff test but luckily they passed Colin's approval and he is now waiting for me to start reading them to him.

Wish me luck!
