Library Love

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

I love that Audrey already squeals, "Booooks! Booooks!" when we pass either of our neighborhood libraries. We love going to the library, but extracting her when it is time to go can be a bit of a challenge. It easier when Lindsey is with us. But it is a dreary day, so we may just do it.

I found some lovely library photos on the Curious Expeditions blog. You really need to check out the entire post, but for now, here are some beauties for your slobbering selves. I hope to devote a future blog post to personal libraries. Save that for another rainy day.

Real Gabinete Portugues De Leitura Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
(This looks amazing!)

Handelingenkamer Tweede Kamer Der Staten-Generaal Den Haag, the Hague, Netherlands
(This looks beautiful, but not sure it is quite cozy enough for my tastes.)

Peabody Library, Baltimore, MD
(A brighter options, with nice reading cubbies.)

Theology Room at St. Deiniol’s library, North Wales
(This may be my pick. The lighting is gorgeous.)

 
Rennie Mackintosh Library, Glasgow School of Art, Scotland
(Aesthetically interesting, but the desks look not too comfy.)

Cornell Law School Library, Ithaca, NY, USA
(Another beauty for its lighting. But law books. Ugh.)

Sterling Memorial, Yale University, New Haven, CT USA
(I have serious card catalog envy issues. This photo doesn't help.)
