Flickring through the library

The Flickr images of SLNSW seem to consist of a few different types. There are all the usual grand photos of the external facade of the building itself. But to me the more interesting photos are the shots that depict either the small, oft forgotten, details of the building, such as the frieze along the Mitchell building. Also there are the photos of how people actually use the building, whether it is the people having coffee on the steps, those within the Reading Rooms or the lady taking photos within Mitchell. This is what's missing from the photos of the Mitchell entrance. Very few of them actually show people entering the library!

Yeah, I love the internal stuff too. Especially the things that generally only staff see... I've posted some photos of the stack to flickr, feel free to check them out. Search for 'stack' and 'slnsw'.
