- Enjoy the collection of stunning photographs in “Browsing the Stacks: A Photo Appreciation of Libraries” from The Atlantic. Writer Alan Taylor takes us inside some of the world’s most beautiful libraries, saying, “As much as our world hurtles toward digitized information, physical books remain popular, useful, and revered items.”
- How true, from Neil Gaiman:
“Google can bring you 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.”
- Take a look behind the scenes of the Library of Congress in the video “There’s Something For Everyone at the World’s Largest Library” from Great Big Story. “Collections are our way of adding memory and remembrances. All of the collections give meaning and context to the human experience and the history of culture,” explains Carla Hayden, the 14th Librarian of Congress.

I agree. Our local library is one of my favorite places, especially in the winter when the fireplace is lit. I don’t want to leave!
