Australia, Queensland, Logan; Local Library as Art


If you are truly interested in books, a library near your home would be the easiest, cheapest and the most accessible place to find them. Sometimes the library experience can also be inspirational to your senses. It can be true art.





Sharing of knowledge through the free libraries of the world can be looked on as an expression of compassion and kindness. It is wonderful how reading books, magazines and other materials that can be found there can help to make the world a better place by providing an outlet for easing everyday worries. Enjoying a moment of peace and quiet reading, listening or browsing amongst the treasures that can be found in any library can contribute to the general wellbeing of any community.





Many libraries also contain art or house various exhibitions that highlight the importance of knowledge. Some libraries are built on a theme. This is a case of the main library at Logan in Queensland, Australia. Curiously, the theme it shares with the clients is 'books'.





Being a great admire of books, I found that visiting this particular library inspired me to find thing about using books as art in other places, too. Throwing away old books is often a hard thing to do. Many find it difficult purely on the basis that it does contain information that can be useful. In this high technological age, where eBooks and eBook readers rule the world, finding additional use for old books is a kind thing to do. For people fond of libraries, visiting your nearest one with friends and children can open up a new world to you and the people around you.

Let's enjoy the libraries of the world and promote their usage as an compassionate act to everybody!
