My closest library (about 20 minutes by car) smells like mold and has 0 windows. :( I've tried sitting there so many times, but I start to feel like I'm in a coffin (it's one floor, fluorescent lights, old carpet... you get the picture). <br /><br />So sad about your visit to the British Library. :( Boo hiss! But I am sure you will find many more treasures on future travels. :) You have that sort of bubbly, optimistic aura about you. Thank you for this post! :)<br /><br />AdrianaAdriana Ryanhttp://adrianaryan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035610363804211797.post-71360618220449927052012-01-17T19:10:59.844-06:002012-01-17T19:10:59.844-06:00Thanks for the recommendation and the comment, Gid...Thanks for the recommendation and the comment, Gideon!Angie Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427286424394081888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035610363804211797.post-65323406161139265922012-01-17T19:08:31.817-06:002012-01-17T19:08:31.817-06:00If you ever get a chance to come to Toronto, you m...If you ever get a chance to come to Toronto, you must check out a couple of out libraries.
