*sigh* Wish I was studying in one of these libraries
Two years ago when I visited Oxford, I toured the Bodleian library. An American woman that I had met at the hostel had signed up for the tour and I decided to tag along at the last minute.
It was breathtaking. There was so much history. For example, during the build-up to the English Civil War, both PM Oliver Cromwell and King Charles I tried to take out non-circulating books. They were both scolded by the librarian and sent away empty-handed.
Anyways, while I'm here in the UWO's Graduate Resource Centre working on an essay about the Library of Congress Subject Headings, I'm wishing I could be doing so somewhere with a little more grandeur.
Perhaps in one of these places.
The Bodleian is shown, as is the Library of Congress, and the Library of Parliament in Ottawa.
Back to work...
