My year in libraries

Happy National Library Week!

In the past year, I've gotten to see and hang out in some pretty fantastic libraries.

Trinity College's Long Room
the most breathtaking

The British Library
the best old stuff, best books to buy

The Boston Public Library
the easiest to get lost in

The West Des Moines Public Library
the best place to read outside

The Des Moines Public Library

the most contemporary

Plus, special shout out to those not pictured, the library aboard the Norwegian Star and Drake University's Cowles Library.
