I vividly remember the day I checked out books from the upstairs. I felt so grown-up. I also remember getting lost upstairs trying to find my mother.<br />The Carnegie Library is part of the reason I am in library school today.Sarah D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145467654887895608.post-91708385859115926902009-06-03T10:13:55.352-04:002009-06-03T10:13:55.352-04:00Hi Melanie!

I hope it's OK to contact you this way, but when I found out a fellow tea lover is also a fellow tatter, I had to share this link:<br /><br />http://my.att.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=87&subpageid=338545&ck=<br /><br />I ordered the book and cannot WAIT to have some tatted teapots to show on my blog. I knew you would appreciate knowing about this as well!

I echo the thoughts on BPL cafe. Ante N, we used to love sitting by the fountains to prepare for c's boards and to get lost with a camera at hand. I loved how the water fountains would drown out the sounds of our city just beyond the courtyard. Now, you are making me nostalgic. :) I also love our Brookline's main branch. Is that where you go?yellowinterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295389061151611139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145467654887895608.post-234056308981630092009-06-02T16:15:20.649-04:002009-06-02T16:15:20.649-04:00Your description of the old library took me back. ...Your description of the old library took me back. If I think hard enough, I can even remember the smell of old books, old shelves, and old carpet all crammer into a basement.<br /><br />I should make a date with myself to get lost in the library some time. My library excursions include taking along my Automated Bookshelf Unloaders and I can't think, let alone dream.Aly sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752087540595599002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145467654887895608.post-30808064463488803272009-06-02T15:53:07.076-04:002009-06-02T15:53:07.076-04:00You paint a lovely picture of a child connecting w...You paint a lovely picture of a child connecting with books.

Our local library is like the new section at the BPL, nothing inspiring about it. I'm hoping the next place we live has a library that will reawaken that sense of limitless opportunities that I felt as a child at the library.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14588835944653961490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145467654887895608.post-21339243950462551872009-06-01T16:35:49.310-04:002009-06-01T16:35:49.310-04:00Teal -

I do love the old part, but the new part feels dirty and depressing and I rarely find any book I'm looking for.<br /><br />However, I very much want to take tea in their cafe some time!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816995372527279642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145467654887895608.post-16433347283326387902009-06-01T15:00:00.740-04:002009-06-01T15:00:00.740-04:00ooooh - the BPL is magnificent, no?
