A friend sent me a photo of a library from his travels. I took a half hour of my holiday to sketch it. A good meal for the mind and sound exercise for the imagination.

Makes me think that if I someday visit that library I might bring my sketchbook, because the architecture, design, and views from the windows are as much of an inspiration as the books on the shelves.

Friends, if you have a library, treasure it. Don’t forget that libraries are a historical rarity.

A cozy library room features tall bookshelves, a desk with a chair, stained glass windows, and a decorative bust on a shelf.
