Over fall break, my good friend Sue (a librarian, too!) and I went to New York to visit my best friend Jessa who lives in Manhattan. We did all the usual NYC stuff....Chinatown, Times Square, WTC, shopping, etc. However, we also went to the Mecca for all librarians...yes, we went to the New York City Public Library on Fifth Avenue. We were in awe of the atmosphere, the architecture, and....the quiet (we had forgotten what this is!). Anyhow, I'm sharing some of the pictures of that trip. Enjoy!
The librarian version of "flashing" in the subway station! We wore these shirts and braved the rain in hopes of getting on The Today Show. You'd be surprised how many New Yorkers stopped to talk to us or made a passing comment about reading as we were out and about that day. The response was totally awesome, and we didn't feel like nerdy librarians at all!
We ARE the Library Guardians...at least at our own schools!
(more pics to come soon!)
