One of the very first photos in this blog, was the picture of a place, where New Library is going to be built.
Almost 7 years has been passed, and here it is, the new Latvian National Library aka Latvijas Nacionālā bibliotēka.
There are still some works going on, so it is not officially open yet.
Also, there are other photographs of LNB building taken from the same spot during the 7 years.
One of long-term projects within this blog is watching of the Latvian National Library construction site. Check the timeline of LNB photos I took from the same position for the last 3 years. Still 2 years to go...
6 months passed since I posted the photo of the most interesting on-going building in Latvia. See the all time line of the LNB Building. Due all-winter-long abundant snowfalls, the snowdrifts are more than 1 meter high almost everywhere in Riga
Finally some part of the building could be seen. Can you see the red frames above the grey fence? :) Comparing to the last photos of LNB Building, this one depicts a big step forward.
As you can see for the past 3 months the view of the most important building in Latvia is not changed. If you compare this photo to the previous one, then you won't notice any difference, except removed graffiti from the fence. But National Library is still under construction. Despite financial crisis and heavy critics is going on and on!
Unfortunately, I didn't took a shot when the foundations of Latvian National Library were laid. But I still continue making shots from the same position as one year before. This picture was taken around begin of October 2008. Have a look how it was in November 2007 January 2008 March 2008 Or all pictures of LNB Building together.
This is the where Latvian National Library (LNB) will be build. There is no consensus of opinions about this building. Because this project can take a lot of money from national budget. But really, does Latvia really need in so big and nice Library? Do people living in latvia read a lot of books? I think, books already are in past. National Library building in January 2008. National Library building in March 2008. Or all pictures together.
