The Brunton Theatre is a mid-scale performing arts venue in Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland. It is part of a wider complex, incorporating council offices, and called Brunton Memorial Hall.
The building is textured concrete and glass, and was designed by William Kininmonth, with a gilded relief sculpture by Tom Whalen on the facade. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother opened it in 1971. The name derives from John D. Brunton, son of John Brunton, the founder of the Brunton Wireworks. He died in 1951 and left a bequest of £700,000 to the people of Musselburgh for the purpose of creating a community hall. The Town Council supplemented this and created a larger scheme which incorporated their offices.There are two performance spaces in the building: a 300 capacity theatre, with notably clear sightlines, and a main hall upstairs, which seats 500. The main hall hosts classical music concerts, comedy and contemporary dance performances, as well as regular cinema screenings and live screenings from the National Theatre and Royal Opera House. The theatre underwent refurbishment in the late 1990s, while the entire building was refurbished in 2010-11 for £3.2 million. There is also a curved bar area, and artwork around the theatre complex by Glasgow-based glass artist Deborah Campbell. Venue hire is managed by East Lothian Council, while artistic programming is organised by the Brunton Theatre Trust, established in 1994.Children's theatre company, Catherine Wheels, are the resident company, and the theatre also acts as venue 191 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

La Biblioteca Nacional Central de Florencia es un biblioteca pública de Florencia y una de las más importantes de Italia y de Europa. Junto con la Biblioteca Nacional Central de Roma desempeña las funciones de biblioteca nacional central.
La biblioteca fue fundada en 1714 cuando Antonio Magliabecchi, un famoso erudito italiano, legó a la ciudad de Florencia su colección completa de libros, que comprendía aproximadamente 30 000 volúmenes. Desde 1743 se requiere que una copia de cada obra publicada en la Toscana se ceda a la biblioteca. Originalmente conocida como la Magliabechiana, la biblioteca se abrió al público en 1747. Sus fondos se combinaron con los de la Biblioteca Palatina, en 1861, y en 1885, tras la unificación de Italia, la biblioteca fue rebautizada como la Biblioteca Nacional Central de Florencia, o BNCF. Desde 1870, la biblioteca ha recogido ejemplares de todas las publicaciones italianas. La biblioteca tenía como sede varias salas que pertenecían a la Galería de los Uffizi, pero desde 1935, las colecciones están alojadas en un edificio diseñado por César Bazzaniu y Vincenzo Mazzei, situado a lo largo del río Arno.
Lamentablemente, una gran inundación del río Arno en 1966 dañó casi un tercio de los fondos de la biblioteca, en especial, sus publicaciones periódicas y los fondos de las colecciones Magliabechi y Palatino. Aunque se estableció un centro de restauración —al que se atribuye la recuperación de muchos objetos de valor incalculable y, aún queda mucho trabajo por hacer— muchos artículos se perdieron definitivamente.
En 2013, su fondo bibliográfico constaba de 5 948 235 volúmenes impresos, 2 703 899 opúsculos, 24 991 manuscritos, 3716 incunables, 29 123 ediciones del siglo XVI y más de 1 000 000 autógrafos, y tuvo 304 214 obras consultadas en ese mismo año 2013. Las estanterías de los depósitos cubrían, hasta 2013, 135 km lineales, con un incremento anual de más de 1,5 km.[1]
