Postcards Received

Yes sir, I like this postcard of a library in Scotland.

I like the rack things on the desks. What do you suppose they are used for? To hold papers, it looks like, or maybe to hold open books while you're working at the desk. That would be so cool. I want one on my desk. This card from Scotland was sent to me by someone in California.

And this postcard sent to me by someone in Ohio who says she got the postcard at the Met, in my own city of NYC.

Funny how these postcards are traveling around the world...and they end up in my mailbox and then in my hands and then in my nifty postcard storage box.

Library

I took this photo at a local library, and the scene reminds me of the library I used when growing up. The wooden chairs on the wooden floor in the old brick house that served as my hometown library were cozy to me. The library eventually moved to a new building, and I moved to New York City.

This is the reading room of the New York Public Library where I get to spend my time as a grown up. Isn't it wonderful? I'm sending this postcard to a person in Germany who requested a library postcard.
