New York: NY Public Library

In New York I wanted to visit the NY Public Library.

Striking a pose with my Strand Bookstore Tote ;-)

We were in luck, because when we walked in to this beautiful building the last tour of the day was about to start.
A really nice and funny lady (sorry, having a senior citizen moment here when she forgot to mention something) was our tourguide.

Marble everywhere!

Main reading room

She told us about the building, the special rooms in the Library, the unique books they have and lots, lots more. Did you know sometimes writers rent an entire apartment within the NY Public Library? They can eat, sleep and write all in the same place! Sounds awesome, unfortunately only accesible for published writers.
Well, you'll never know, maybe one day ;-)

I loved every minute of being in this iconic building. If you are ever in New York and like, lover or adore books don't forget to visit!
