Libraries and Museums

I am fascinated in libraries and museums around the world and enjoy visiting them on the internet.  Have you visited any Renaissance Libraries? They are a magnificent work of art.

Here are just a few:

The Abbey Library, St. Gallen, Switzerland

Favourite library site on Facebook

As a member of ALIA I was able to gain useful and current knowledge regarding library information. They offered some terrific workshops online which I found helped me in my library workplace

The Library of Congress and Twitter

 As a lover of history I fnd the Library of Congress a magnificant site.  There is so much to browse through I find I am on there for ages. I generally enter the blog site from the twitter page as I find some of the comments interesting.

State Library of Victoria

I am a member of the SLV however have never visited it although I plan to in the future.  I'll need about a week to see it all since the collections and building are of great interest to me.

Doggies talking

I just had to add this to my site as it is so typical of my doggies talking to me with those sorrowful eyes.
The devastation of this dogs face is exactly what my two do. They just know how to break your heart!
