Queue


I couldn't believe it one morning when I was in town for a haircut. I'd parker my car down the road further and was walking past the local library when I saw a queue of people waiting outside for it to open, it's not often I see something like this.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Here it depends on the branch, but I am rarely near a library at opening hours.

Looks like a nice place to read a book. The only time we've seen a line at our libraries is when they are lined up to vote. We aren't very proud of those lines but that doesn't happen very often. Since we are retired we try to go during the middle of the day, most times no lines there.

This librarian loves that people are waiting for the library to open. That happens here too where I live in California.

They must have a thirst for knowledge.

Even with Kindle real books are still no one. There's something about turning those pages, flicking backwards and forwards. Lucky you to have a library! Though we do have a few shelves of free books to read and swap

I've never seen a queue for our library except when checking out and now there are machines that you can check yourself in or out.

I've never seen a queue at the library. Yours look like a nice place with the sun coming in through those windows. Hope you liked your haircut!

I was going to say that it's hopeful to see people wanting to read! But I think often nowadays people use Libraries because they have computers available to the public. I kind of miss going to my local Libraries now that I read almost only on my Kindle. (I still use my Library card to borrow books on line).

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
