Library
A place set apart to contain books, periodicals and other materials for reading, viewing, listening, study or reference, as a room, set of rooms or building where books may be read or borrowed.
But in my mind a library is much more. It is a place of foreign lands, peoples, animals, things. It's a place of imagination and fantasy, a place where you can go to meet the world without having to get on a plane, a place of escape and coming home.
The library in the photo is the library at Wimpole Hall and I was lucky to visit it last week. Imagine having all that space to place your books, a nice comfy couch, a roaring fire and a glass of wine or a mug of hot chocolate. I might never get out again!

ReplyDeleteA perfect L - one of my favourite places! I could spend hours there exploring and reading!
ReplyDeleteOh, libraries are such fun! Places of magic, for sure, and the only problem with them is that they eventually want you to give the books back!
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)
I was in the Charlotte, NC library this week, even though I'm a librarian in Albany, NY. Busman's holiday, I guess.
