Took a short break from library runs...
...to run a half marathon in Scotland. But I did get to visit two nice libraries while I was in the UK, one in the town of Linlithgow ("Birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots!"):

Did you go into the Linlithgow Library too?
ReplyDeleteI confess, no. It was closed when I got there, so I had to settle for a peek through the glass.
ReplyDeleteIt's nicer on the inside than on the outside I think. They have plans, though, to move the library across the street to a much larger and older building with high ceilings, cornices, and other nice architectural features. I'll let you know if and when that happens (in my lifetime).
DeleteSounds great! Yeah, the blue bins out front don't help the "curb appeal." I hope that new location across the street turns out. If it does, I hope to see pics on your blog! (I like how, in this case, "older" means better.)
