| Barbican's futuristic book scanner! |
Today's photography focus was, think differently, or what I call choose you own adventure! I must say that the Barbican Library was amazing. I had such a great time looking at all of their collections and they had so much to offer the public!!! We got a wonderful and in-depth tour from two of the main librarians of so many of their different wings. Their music library has 2 pianos which patrons can reserve and practice with headphones! (I took a picture of the West Side Story musical score from the 1960s for my mom, on her birthday today.) The childrens library was so neat, it was decorated with all space and astronomy-related things (making me think of my mother-in-law.) I was floored when I found out that England pays for every child to get three sets of books at different ages in order to propel their development! I guess with this running theme you could say that the Barbican is the "mother" of London libraries! Next, we visited St. Paul's Cathedral and there was no photography allowed inside, so I had to just make due with my pictures of the outside of the cathedral.
