I should blog about this. And so, here it is, my second time to the library and my second post. And the second time I burnt my tongue on the hot coffee.

The BPL is amazingly beautiful, and is a great remanant of old architecture mixed with a new wing, all filled with books, books, books. (I’ve got to start reading more) There are all sorts of literature here, especially of a different nature than the MIT libraries. I.E. Anne of Green Gables, for Caroline. There is even a microtext section where it’s on film and you project it onto a screen so you can read it. They even have art exhibits here. I really like this library. Only complaint is slow internet…although anywhere is slow compared to MIT.

I will need to bring my camera next time to document. Now time to finish writing my first post and design the blogsite.
