This summer I went to New York City for the first time.
Guess what was my favorite spot in NYC?
Fortitude or Patience. Fortitude, I think.
You know you are going somewhere special
before you go inside.
Even the water fountains are beautiful.
Art in the library. What a great place to read!
Beautiful.
So beautiful.
Just beautiful.
And this is just for the even numbers.
I could have stayed here all day.
The children's room was lively.
Just because the library is old doesn't mean
it's out of date with technology.
Beautiful outside spaces, too.
And look what I got in NYC!
Am I the only one who goes to libraries on vacation?!
I love these pics. I hope that I can make it there someday.
ReplyDeleteHaha I went there when I was in NY too! Did you go to The Strand as well? I was in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI would probably have found a hotel nearby the library and not went anywhere else and then I would have been disappointed in myself when I got home. I always look for the library everywhere I go.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd go there, Hillary. Don't give up hope.
ReplyDeleteYep, I went the Strand also, Belle!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only person who visits libraries while on vacation, BookBelle!
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely not the only person Deb, I do too. In fact one of the few regrets I have from Paris last year (apart from the fact that it was two months too short) is that I didn't go to the National Library which was in fact just a few blocks away, and I walked past quite often on my evening stroll. Next time.
ReplyDeleteIt's strange, Louise, but I failed to visit the library in Paris also.
ReplyDeleteOh, going to New York is definitely on my Bucket List...the short one with that wish near the top!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos...I'm drooling here.
Here's MY SUNDAY SALON POST
The New York public library is an amazing place even if you're not into books.

I've never been to New York! But that library looks absolutely amazing. I would LOVE to go there someday :]
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the library when I went to NYC too! The book delivery number system was so strange compared to a small town library.
ReplyDeleteThe NYC public library is so fantastic! Just this morning my daughter and I were saying we've got to do another trip to NYC and you've just reminded me of another reason why
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I love NYC! I live on Long Island and rarely get into the city.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Would love to visit the NYC library at some point. Looks like an amazing building.
ReplyDeleteA nice quiet place in NY - the library!
ReplyDeleteLove this series of shots. As someone who has NOT been to that library, I'm glad you just gave me a virtual tour (or tease, if you like). :)
