libraries

i know i've posted about libraries before, but meh..

tell me about your library and the best library you've ever been to. or weird library stories or anything library-esque

the best library i've been to was the bodleian in oxford. i got to see all the behind the scenes stuff as i went for a job interview there (which i screwed up by being enormously nervous). the library is connected to another library by underground tunnels (formerly connecting all the oxford uni buildings in the town centre). to take books from one library to another there's this underground mine-shaft like system with big metal carts that they put the books in to send up. it was the coolest thing

also i like the british library a lot, especially the periodicals one in colindale. i sat next to robert kilroy silk in there!

i'd reallylike to visit the library of congress and the one at the natural history museum. and a prison library, which i may be doing next month.

all sorts of exciting places have libraries, like the houses of parliament, scotland yard, kew gardens, london zoo, windsor castle. i think 'the royal librarian' has a good ring to it..

Old universities always have cool libraries, like Princeton and Harvard. The books in there are hundreds of years old. There are also places underneath the main library, which are said to be haunted by spirits of students past. I worked in an old school library and actually felt the presence of spirits. Coolness.

i'd love to see harvard and yale's libraries.

i work for a very new library. the university itself is quite old, but the campus and buildings are all very new. it has some advantages but sometimes it just doesn't feel as a library should. in fact we're not even supposed to call it a library, it's a 'learning resources centre' (i answer the phone with that and about a quarter of people say 'oh, sorry, i wanted the library'...

the uni has another library in central london which is really cool though. it's all quite old apart from a big etching of jimi hendrix- it was the site of his first UK gig. which is pretty odd.
