A well lit place

Libraries have to be the few of the best places on earth! Surrounded by countless of books and journals which are written with passion gave off a great feeling. Even I though I got to spend just a brief moment in the library today, it lifted my mood by leaps and bounds.

One of the best libraries has to be the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh. The massive collection made me wonder aimlessly, too many to choose from. I even made a member card which was free! And it was beautiful of course. The fact that I could see the natural science museum next door through windows in between their walls is sooo much fun and seeing the  dinosaur skeletons (HUGE dinos) was the highlight to my visit.

The corridors are like scenes that came out from a harry potter movie. It holds grandeur yet well loved and well used. The best feature was the mezzanine. When you are at one of the floors, you can actually peak through the floors beneath you at the bottom edge of each book shelf. Then you’ll realised, the shelves are actually humongous shelves which happen to have glass floors surrounding them. Isn’t that just tooo awesome!

Even though I only got to visit Pittsburgh library twice, it left a deep impression in me. And libraries everywhere are still the most welcoming place on earth. Go to one today and you know why You’ll feel like a little kid amazed by the wonder of the written world.
