It's the British Library of Durres, so 90% of the books are in English. I was delighted with the large selection--British lit is my favourite. I've never seen so many copies of The Railway Children in my life. At least 40. But the building is so full of mold and mildew, you have to breathe through your mouth. Not the best environment for preserving books. I only brought home one book today--Roald Dahl's BFG.
The library is dedicated to Princess Diana
A gorgeous set of Arthur Ransome's Swallow books--this photo is for you, Robbie. :)
ooh!! the books look delicious! I wish I could be there and run my hand over the covers and smell the musty smell of those books.
ReplyDeleteeh, no, you don't want to take a deep breath of these books... your lungs would fill up with mold. Seriously...it's bad.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we got to see the library. I thought it might be dark in there. I guess you must have a lot of humidity. We love you.Keep up the great bloging I know it takes extra time but we so look forward to being in touch everyday.
