The Prince Rupert Library has a web site devoted to their plans to design and build a new waterfront library. My favorite part? The unusual libraries section: book bikes, book boats, book trains, you name it. [thanks thomas]

strings attached — keep this building for 20+ years
Library that got expansion grant 17 years ago cannot move to larger quarters and shut the [expanded] library down completely until 20 years have passed. This happened in my town too, just recently. The town owns the building and due to some law or another, needs to use the building for town purposes. Thi sis usually how historical societies get such great digs, I reckon. [thanks jeanette]
libraries you never knew existed
The QE2 has the largest library at sea and the only full-time at sea librarian. There are other job opportunities for at-sea librarians as well.[thanks hanan]
zine libraries!
Other superlative libraries include the Denver Zine Library with one of the largest library zine collections in the world. [thanks tammi]
