One of my school libraries is fairly nice, though. So I sometimes read there.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-75349474522337427092009-04-04T20:38:00.000-04:002009-04-04T20:38:00.000-04:00I love libraries too, but I rarely go to the ones ...I love libraries too, but I rarely go to the ones in my own city now. Many of the branches have more videos and dvds than books, which saddens me. I think the Chicago Library is fantastic -- I always look for those incredible gargoyles to appear over the L tracks as you come into the Loop from Midway. Can't help but smile. The new British Library, (which I think has been opened for almost 10 years now) is fantastic. One of my favorite pictures of my son was taken in front of a statue of Newton in the courtyard there, a 12 yr old looking at a book at the feet of one of his heros. Libraries are frequently mandatory stops on our vacations.Anne Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419931136194330529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-74544759932092511832009-04-02T15:02:00.000-04:002009-04-02T15:02:00.000-04:00I was such a magnet to libraries when I was young....I was such a magnet to libraries when I was young.
