We took Amelia here to see the Magna Carta. She was 2. Certainly the scholarly ambiance was broken by a very exuberant toddler with red curly hair. We got some haughty looks. But it’s all good. The Magna Carta is all about messing with “the man”.
The neatest library I’ve been in, by far is the John Rylands Library in Manchester. Amazingly, the official web pages for it do not, at all, show how amazing it is. Of course, many of the books can’t readily be accessed, but many can, and anyone can go study there. Certainly, if you are ever in Manchester, you should go see it.

O my. I could spend all day, every day in a library like that. But I have to work, so I usually only get about two hours as week at the NYPL.

My family loves Huntington Library in San Marino.

There’s art, some rare manuscripts and (my favorite) a lovely botanical garden.
