Library+of+Imagination

1. **Theremin**: The worlds first electronical instrument was the theremin, created by Leon Theremin in 1920. It takes a lot of imagination to make something new and strange, expecially if you don't know what you're making. The video below will show you what it sounds like.

2.**Vaccines**: Vacinations have only been around for a short time, but they could be the different between life and death. Vaccines deserve a place in the library beacuse are an amazing medical advancement, and are connected to the human imagination, imagining preventing disease and viruses. The first vaccine was used in 1770 by Edward Jenner to treat smallpox. To treat smallpox, Edward Jenner extracted a small amount of cowpox and injected it into his patient, so that the patient's body had already created white blood cells to treat smallpox when he got it//.// Without vaccines we would be contracting the same diseases over and over again.



3. **Books**: Authors use different techniques and styles in writing today with lots more variety in topics that are very creative and imaginative. It also takes a lot of imagination to think up the story that the author is writing. Without books the world today might have lost all the knowledge the people back then had and the world would still be undeveloped.



4. **Internet:** It takes a lot of imagination to make the internet work, in truth the internet was made by many people working together (too many to be named).



5. **Magna Carta**: A british charter that was signed to give the people of england more rights. This charter was the base of what we used for the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitutional.



6. **Clocks**: The concept of "time" first came to be in the ancient times wondering how much daylight they had left in the day, so they created something to keep track. They created the sundial, but clocks soon became more commonly used as time passed. 7. **Tools:** Without tools mankind woudn't be at where it's at today, tools have helped immensly through our lives and are still important today. 8. **Architecture:** Architecture takes a great deal of imagination to come up with the most interesting structures.

9. **Telephones:** Made by Alexander Graham Bell and a few others in the 1870's, the telephone has quickly replaced letters and going to another person's house to talk to them. It takes a lot of imagination and concentration to make inventions like this work.



10: **Photography:** Most people take photos everyday, and they mostly use digital photography. When photography was invented it quickly changed the world, everyone was amazed at how they can see images on pieces of paper. As people say a picture can speak 1000 words, and it's true for most cases; this is why it's in my library.

My library will have 2 floors a main floor and a 2nd floor. The first floor will have the miscellaneous stuff in it, such as tools, clocks, and information on how the internet was created. The 2nd floor will have a floor made out of 2 layers of really strong and sturdy glass and there will be skylights so the light from the roof reaches all the way down to the main floor. The lights will be like the continuous flow of time, and on the cloudy/rainy days there will be other lights in the building for those days when time seems to be a little slower to brighten up the place. My 2nd floor will also have the rest of the items in my library. The structure of my library will be something like the image below.
