Going to a library on a weekly basis has always been a part of my life. I didn't learn to read until I was 8 years old and it was a life defining moment when I was able to join the Summer Reading Program at my childhood library. Since then "going to the library" has been an integral part of my life.
I have favorite libraries that I have passed through over the years: my college library, Butler Library, where I spent two years of my life in the 3rd floor sub basement stacks researching and writing papers for my major. The New York Public Library's main branch with the famous flanking stone lions and the best selection of "New Fiction", and my childhood library, Noble Rd. Library. I still visit online- it's has a very active website.
Since we now also live in a virtual world, I visit the Bodleian Library at Oxford University, and highly recommend their"bodcasts". If you like mysteries, you would probably enjoy the bodcasts of P.D. James and Ruth Rendell.
If you have a favorite library- share it. I'll find a picture and post it.
