The J.B. Morrell Library

This is the J.B. Morrell Library. Not the most attractive of buildings, but it does the job. There is an urban legend circulating that when the architects originally designed this building, they did not take account of the potential weight of the books. Thus, it is slowly and gradually, slipping down the hill toward the road. Having a road going through campus gives it the Kevicc feel, I like:


This is the silent study room, that was built more recently. It's not that silent, as there's always someone rustling papers too loudly:

This undisclosed corner of the library is a favourite area of mine, as it is also Mr. Barnard and Ms. Craig (who both recommended the spot). Quiet, out-of-the-way and with good views over campus, this is a good place for work, or doing bugger all. As you can see from the photo, I have been hard at study, making notes from Richard Gunther's seminal piece of editorship "The Politics of Democratic Consolidation":

I would have taken more pictures of my favourite spots in the library, but all were occupied.
