Update about blog

The joy of waking to this view each morning is just so wonderful. Even if the camera sees all the distortions from the window screen, I easily ignore them. Many of these green trees stand near or by the Animas River which flows through the town.

Shhh! Library wordless Wednesday

 

Afternoon showers, we finally had a bit of rain on Aug 11.

I featured the exterior of the Durango Public Library earlier in the month.


First floor has meeting rooms, and a lot of fiction...

And a great view of the Animas River


A huge children's room, as well as a separate room for story time.



and an elevator to the second floor where...

research and non-fiction are available, as well as these views...

 The bike path goes for miles along the Animas River, and here the narrow gauge railroad that goes to Silverton.


Many young people are riding electric bikes around town. The library can check out bike locks for those who visit there.





and yes, you can sit out on these balconies and enjoy reading or whatever!

    The library looks great, I love the views. The bike path along the river looks like a great place for a walk too.
    Take care, enjoy your day!

    Why isn't that bibliosaurus holding a book?

    It's always good to find the library when you move to a new place. Looks like you have a nice one.

    This is almost as nice as our local library, which also has balconies and second and third floor views over the town and trees everywhere. I very much approve balconies for libraries, very civilized.

    What a great library situation. Our one-storey building pales in comparison. And you have the views too.

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
