Last week I shared some photos and information about the Parkway Central Library in Philadelphia. While we were there, we had a tour of their rare book collection, which is quite impressive. Here are some photos from our tour.
The rare book collection
My apologies for the confusion - the linky didn't work earlier!

ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting on Poe!
ReplyDeleteI do love a good library, I think books are way better than online devices.
ReplyDeleteI love books, so I would love to visit here. When we were in our Australian capital Canberra a few years ago, I really enjoyed visiting our National Collections of art, books, etc. So much history. Wonderful. Enjoy your week and thankyou again for the linkup

Crows have a staring role in my next novel, Chorus of Crows. I've been enjoying the smart ravens of the southwest this month. They are worthy literary muses and are almost always harbringers of doom!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing experience! I remember during college getting to see some DaVinci sketches up close in the rare section of the Getty Museum. I will never forget that! Happy Wednesday, Sue. Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteIt’s so shiny yet with an air of mystery.
ReplyDeleteYou always share very special things and information. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteImpressive collection!
Happy WW and a fine week!❤️😊
Grip hanging out at the Free Library now, right next to Poe's works. Makes you wonder if he'd ever croak out "Nevermore"!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so very cool. I would love to go there and look at everything you did. So very cool. Thanks for sharing it. I am so jealous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
