If you were like me, your travel was greatly curtailed during Spring Break.\u00a0 While I didn’t have a big trip planned, I hoped to visit a few places around here – Fibres West (a festival for all things fibre – and as a Knitter, I am a fibre fiend) in Langley, Granville Island, … downtown Vancouver.\u00a0 Just days out.\u00a0 But it didn’t happen.\u00a0 The farthest I got was over to McGill branch of the public library on its last open day to stock up.
\nBut there are other travel options, even when we are stuck in our homes.\u00a0 The internet is a wonderful portal to all sorts of places.\u00a0 So put on your virtual walking shoes and make your way to … you’re only limited by your imagination.
\nBeing a librarian, and liking books way too much, I love libraries.\u00a0 And there are some gorgeous, amazing, fabulous libraries out there.\u00a0 If you are interested in books, archictecture, or just amazing interiors, try out this virtual library tour<\/a>, guided by School Library Journal.
\nThese are my pictures from visiting the Bodleian Library in Oxford, one of the libraries on the tour, and, incidentally, the Hogwarts library.\u00a0 I wasn’t allowed, unfortunately to take pictures inside, so you can see more of it on this tour.
