The quietness and the smell of aged books...... it felt like I stepped back in time in a good way.
This library was so beautiful and my pictures does it no justice. The architecture alone had me in awe. The tall balconies, the vintage details, the endless rows of books.
I like that it still somewhat functions like it did back in the day. The old catalog system is still in there, which made the little bookworm in me happy.
By the way this library is connected to a medical campus, so I saw medical students studying. Cool watching future Dr.’s studying.
And of course… the smell. If you know, you know. Old libraries have this scent that I appreciate...... old paper and old books.....it’s oddly calming/satisfying.
ohh and they had a small museum attached too. I noticed some of the exhibits centered around women and women’s rights.
Most importantly all was FREE to visit!
