For April I’m challenging myself to an A-Z photo a day excluding Sundays and in addition to any regular posts that come to be.
Today is Monday April 14th and the beginning of Holy Week on the Christian Calendar. We are on the letter L for the A-Z challenge. I will be sharing all the fun we had for JJ and Andrew’s birthday celebrations on Wednesday.
L is for libraries…
The University of Washington has a beautiful library/reading room on their campus. Suzzallo Library is a Seattle treasure.
It is no surprise that the library’s namesake, Henry Suzzallo, believed that universities should be “cathedrals of learning.” The library was built in 1926 in the collegiate gothic style, and it conjures up images of European palaces, old churches, and the halls of Oxford and Cambridge.
If you are ever in Seattle a trip to the University of Washington Campus is worthwhile, especially to visit this library reading room.

That is a beautiful library. I love libraries!! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
I absolutely love libraries! I love the way they’re filled with books you can just take home with you. The pictures you show are beautiful.
It is a beautiful building and library!
Have a happy day and a blessed Easter week!
…and it’s still LENT!
What a beautiful library! Are all of the buildings on this campus as grand as this one?
Dianna, Several of the older buildings are but not all of them. They also have a quad area that is filled with cherry trees and when the trees blossom crowds come to see. Another section of the campus has a beautiful fountain with a great long view of the campus.
WOW isn’t that a beautiful and impressive library!!!!
What a difference from my little town library. 🙂
That building is absolutely beautiful. I remember walking past it during the summer I studied at U of W, but I never went in there. Too back for me… Willow
Oops… too BAD for me.
