Move over Valentines, it’s time to celebrate one of the best gifts in our lives: libraries! Here’s to a day spent among the books and knowledge that each library holds—whether online or in-person. To mark Library Lovers Day, I want to share about one of my favorite trips to the library, as inspired by Belle da Costa Greene’s story of becoming a librarian; read the book The Personal Librarian to learn more about her journey.
Visiting the Morgan Library was like stepping inside an enchanted world –one where knowledge filled the air and curiosity begged to be explored. Every corner I stepped around revealed breathtaking artifacts with stories begging to be unearthed. Among them, I learnt not only of JP Morgan’s amazing life, but also of the dedication of librarians who hold dear the wealth of knowledge preserved in books. It was a memorable visit, and one that made me appreciate the power of libraries even more!
