I don't know where this is, but I love it. Ah, I knew someone would know- kittenteef says it's in Auburn, Washington. Thank you!

Today I fulfilled one of my resolutions for 2020. I went to Blackstone Library in Kenwood and got a Chicago Public Library card. It's a gorgeous place and I'm excited! I didn't check out any books—I'm taking one more month to reduce the size of my to-read shelf first. Glad to finally be part of a library system again, and to be involved in my community.

So apparently my grandma lives near a library that lends out videogames as well as books and movies??? Which I didn't know was a thing??? and now I wish my library had videogames because my 3ds only has 3 and it would be cool to get to play more of them without having to pay to own them permanently???

Planning my trip to Spain and thinking back to the incredible Biblioteca Vasconcelos in Mexico City, which remains one of the coolest bookish places I’ve visited on my travels.

This Secluded Library Retreat Is Next-Level Dreamy

It’s constructed from trees left over from the building of the main house.

Libraries Around the World: The Bibliomotocarro, Italy

Not serving any one specific town, the Bibliomotocarro travels around Italian villages bringing books to the community. 

It was founded by Antonio La Cava, a retired Italian teacher, in 2003. 

I assume the library’s 700-book collection consists mainly of books for kids and teens, as his inspiration was to bring the love of reading to children.

If you wanna take a look at their site, the link can be found here. They have activities for the kids, programs, and their schedule, among other things. :)

It’s all in Italian, but worth poking around in..
