The magnificent Mitchell Library on North Street in Glasgow. Designed by William B. Whitie in an Edwardian Baroque style and opened in 1911, it is the largest public reference library in Europe.

A #Glasgow #streetscene to take us even further back in time - this shot shows Glasgow Libraries #MitchellLibrary in North St in Oct '64. Some stark contrast between the dirty elevations, the elegant lady on her way to Charing X and the golden Sunbeam Rapier parked across the road! ^WB
Wisdom looking out from above the entrance to the Mitchell Library on North Street in Glasgow. This statue was created by Johan Keller in 1911.

The beautiful #MitchellLibrary from when you arrive on #nextbike .
What an experience. The council removed the paving some years ago, opting for tarmac in what can only be described as an act of vandalism.
Now look at the place. Where is the pride? Glasgow City Council #visitscotland
Not happy with these but it's been a learning experience with the #Nikon , a lot more lessons still to be learned!
