Rainbow Library - for Selfies in Sydney, Australia



You no longer need feel foolish about sorting your books by colour instead of author. 

Here's a picture of a rainbow of books. I found this on Flickr.
Istock wanted me to get free by signing up to pay and getting first month free.

On unsplash, which is free photos I found this


The largest I have seen is in one of the world's hitherto little known libraries, in Australia, which has created a rainbow effect from books with great success.

Take your cue from the award-winning underground library. From the outside you see a wall of glass mirroring the sky.


I don't understand how to give correct attribution to this photo from Wikimedia Commons. The author is Picasa. The author and user is somebody else, user Sardaka.


In the colourfully named Green Square, Sydney. 355 Botany Road, Zetland, Sydney, Australia.

Inside is the original wall of rainbow coloured books. 

Inside is an attractive outdoors area.The Courtyard.




Photo side view showing the building slopes back downwards. Picture again from Sardaka.

From the outside, the Infinity building, behind the library, in the picture, I presume actually on the left, looks even more striking.

Again, photo from Sardaka, in Wikimedia.


It is not a silent space. There's a children's room. And a music room you can hire, which comes with instruments you can use such as electric guitars.

You (members) can also borrow a ukelele for up to three weeks.
