Today, after I went to the car dealership and then out to lunch, I visited a brand new geneology and history library.  When I say brand new, I mean BRAND NEW - it opened (I think) five days ago.  I didn’t stay as long as I would like, because their wireless internet was not hooked up yet.  But it was still kind of a surreal experience.

First of all, there were TONS of books.  You could tell, though, that the building was designed to allow for expansion - a smart idea, since this is the 3rd major move in just my lifetime for this library.  The architecture was incredible - it was SO beautiful, and allowed lots of natural light.  I can already tell that I’ll be spending lots of time at this library.  It’s so well designed and with perfect “cubbies” for writing.
