Library

Posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 | 0 Comments

Last week during our Austrian History class we went to the National Library. Can I just say, I was a fan of libraries before this, but now my level of appreciation and love have reached all new levels. Observe:

In a completely serious manner, with no kidding involved, my mouth literally dropped open upon entering this... this... chamber, and did not shut for about another ten minutes. It. Was. Amazing. When you read stories and fairy tales that involve large libraries in beautiful castles, this is what you imagine, no? That's the way it was for me.

And check out this fresco! In a library!

If I could have a library like this in my house, I would be the happiest girl. Ever.

... but it might need to be about 50% yarn, 50% books. What? People keep yarn in libraries all the time!
