Library architecture in photographs


I was pleased to read about a list of the 25 most modern libraries in the world via LISNews. One of the criteria for selecting these libraries was their architecture and I clicked on several of the links to library homepages hoping for a way to see what the physical environment looked like. I was disappointed. Why don’t libraries, especially those with distinctive and/or award-winning architectural details, provide an easier way for virtual visitors like me to see them in photographs and/or video clips? Maybe such information is readily available on many of these library website and I simply overlooked it, but I don’t think so. I think libraries should spend more time thinking about advertising themselves in this way to their virtual visitors (who, in many cases, far outnumber physical visitors).
