Feel free to grab the Blue Monday Code on my sidebar and place it directly onto your Blue Monday post.
Check the other participants and wish them a Happy Blue Monday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I love to read and maintain a book blog where I review what I've read. I'm planning a giveaway in a couple of weeks.
In my search for things
blue, I spotted this beautiful
blue library sign. It stands outside of my local library.
This is the side of the library. I captured the sky and the flag because they both contain more
blue.
The city began as a train station around 1910. To commemorate the town's beginning, the library has an interesting 3-D brick sculpture of a train pointed toward the entrance. You can see the entrance by looking at the right side of this photo by the white railing.
Here's a close-up. I think it's quite unique with its 3-D effect. As we walk through the doors, the train is aimed right at us.

that library look really neat! love the bricks architecture of it :)
Yes, I love to read ... and public libraries! Thanks for sharing yours.
I love reading but I seem to be reading magazines more than books these days. When I do read I love reading historical biographies!
Thanks for having me today. Hope you enjoy that gorgeous Spring weather!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Historical blue you have this week Sally, thanks for sharing. Have a great week ahead.
i agree with marice. nice place to learn
Life Moto - Happy Monday!
I love our libraries. I am lucky to have 4 different puplic libraries wthin 5 minutes of my home.
Yes, yes, I love to read. The library is my very favorite place to go. I used to buy books, but that became costly. I just go and enjoy the latest from the library.
Yes I love to read too, and most of my fiction, when I get a chance, comes from the library.
Lovely blue sign and sky.
Hugs, Jan
I love the blue sign. Happy Blue Monday!
Hey Sweetie,,,sooooblessed to be here with you again this Monday of BLUE!!!!
Hugs Dena
Hi Sally ... this is funny, because I did my post this morning, and it is about "my" library at home! Great minds think alike, lol.
Thanks for hostessing, and have a wonderful Blue Monday,
Kathy
I´m a fan of books. Especially thriller and detective storys. Love the library. It´s a great service for all people like reading. Please have a great monday.
Sally~ thanks again for another fabulous Blue Monday!!
Smiles~C
The train looks pretty neat, Sally. ...Christine
These are beautiful Sally. Happy Monday.
My Blue Monday.
You once again found a unique and interesting blue. Because of problems with eyes I no longer read a great deal, but I do avail myself of talking books. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
I always visit our local library. In fact tomorrow, I will go there to return all the books that I have borrowed for it will due very soon. Love the sculpture of the train.
Have a great week.
Hi Sally, wow, this is so cool, so sad people right in where I live are not so adept with reading, thus public libraries are not a hit.. posted mine..
Hi Sally,
thanks for sharing this. I love books and I love libraries, I spend a lot of them with both! Do you know about Bookcrossing, I do that sometimes too to share books.
best wishes,
Grace
Lovely blue sign!! happy Monday
Hi Sally,
Happy Blue Monday! I love to read and my favorite books are spiritual ones.

Hi Sally! I love to read and am enjoying your blue skies and blue Monday! Thanks for hosting!
this is my first time to join..and it's quite fun looking for photos with blue theme.
As always Sally, great post. Love the 3d brick train. Blessings, Debbie
Great Blue library sign! And there's nothing I like more than going to the library! Now there's a place that opens up the entire world!
Happy Blue Monday!
Coralie
That's a great blue sign of the library, Sally and the wooden train is awesome!
Happy Blue Monday, Sally.
I like the train feature. That was a creative concept to tie to city history.
And, I love to read. But, I have to control my addiction in order to go to work. I am always torn to put my book down.
Yes, one of my most favourite places to go. Thanks for a great Blue Monday x
i am late again. mine is up! very classic library. have a blessed monday Sally. :-)
The train is really special - why a train I wonder curiously?
Looks like a fun place. I could spend hours at the library. Happy Blue Monday.
Hello Sally ! ! Happy Blue Monday !
Oh how I love libraries. Happy Blue Monday! La
lovely library sign..
Happy Blue Monday.
Nice bas-relief! :)

Hi Sally, We so appreciate our library! Sky blue is always an inspiring color...a perfect backdrop for every thing in this world!
Good morning Sally, Boy there are lots of Bloggers signed up after me. I linked after midnight before I went to bed. I meant to come back early this morning but we slept late. A rare occasion for me.
Your Library is huge and beautiful. I love the history and the train on the building. A lot of thought went into the construction of this wonderful building. My mother was an avid reader and she would have loved this library. She actually read out the library in her town and had to change to another. Hard to believe huh?
Gotta get going. Our church is making baby quilts to send to China. They will be tied instead of quilted. I am so sad for these poor people.
Have a wonderful day.
Love, Jeanne
I used to visit the library all the time when my girls were younger, but haven't been in about 6 years, sadly enough. I do love to read...mostly non-fiction. Happy Blue Monday, Sally!
What a great train relief on that library....such an awesome nod to the history of your city! And what DARLING grandkiddos in their sweet Spring Break shirts. Yes, in the olden days, we did call it Easter Vacation. Gotta keep the church out of the state, I guess. :(
Our skies are blue in KCMO today!!!! It's a happy Blue Monday here, too! Have a great day!
Dana
Morning Sally...what a great Library....I use to go to ours all the time...but it has been years since I went...they actually rebuilt it...I need to go back and check it out! I posted a little Blue for you girl...thanks for hosting...love ya sweetie...Picket
The color of the library signage is so stunning.
Can't feel "blue" with beautiful blue skies!!
Happy week,
Barb
nice! this reminds me to visit the library...been a while since the last time I borrowed books and movies....great to be here Sally!
I love your library! It reminds me of the one I used to go to in San Antonio TX when I was a teen. Oddly enough, I have a library shot for today, too (great minds thinking alike, and all that).
Happy Blue Monday!
~Joy @ Joysweb
That is a very nice library. We only have a small anex library that is connected to our county seat library. We are fortunate that we can place an order for books we are looking for and it will be sent over from the county library. ~~Sherry~~
Love to read and I use the library a lot - at least lately! Great resources there.
A great use of blue, most people's favorite color. Yes, I'm an avid reader, always have been. Love the treasure of used books.
I love the Library and love to read....I have a real large one near my home so I consider myself lucky. Because there is a great variety of books, etc........
Thanks for sharing your Library with us. Happy Blue Monday!!!!!
We love our library - we're fortunate to have an excellent children's reading program in the summer.
Wish we had a cool train sculpture!
Love the train sculpture on the front, very cool! Happy Blue Monday. ;)
I just adore my library. Once of my favorite places. And if you were here you could see the most beautiful blue sky!
Sandra
My son would sure love that cho cho in the wall.

Do you know this book ?
Bleu histoire d'une couleur de Michel Pastoureau
Hope I did it right now!
Hi Sally, Happy Blue Monday to you.... Looks like this meme is still extremely popular...
That blue library sign was there JUST for you.... I know how much you enjoy reading...
Hugs,
Betsy
Happy Blue Monday Sally
Thats a very nice bright blue library sign. It really stands out nicely. The trains is really interesting and the 3-D adds a nice touch to the library too.
I bet you read a lot of books.... I do like to read and pick up magazines of different kinds to read whenever I can...and I'm back into reading before I go to bed. Thats a real treat part of my day these days. I am reading novels lately.
Happy Blue Monday and springy skies...
*hugs*

Good evening! This is my first time posting to Blue Monday. Love the concept!
Hi Most Blue One! I love libraries and I don't want anything to do with those Kindles or mechanic things.
Well my tiny toe is still a bit bruised and hurts it I poke on it. So I don't poke on it much! :)
I know you're weather is probably pretty perfect like ours! :) You know, I've had that cross tassel up for a few years and thought about taking it down. But since you like it - I won't! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
