I don’t do libraries anymore… but if I did, I wouldn’t spend any time outside this place.

Is anyone organising a “Coolest Local Libraries” contest somewhere? I might have a chance.

@Melissa: It’s also surprisingly comfortable inside!

@Larissa: I know what you mean, but thought it my duty to support the local library, so I subscribed, even if (blush) I don’t use it much…

@Joanna: Yes, English book, DVDs. It’s a cheap way to watch movies, actually!

@Vasilly: The neighborhood is also very pretty, with old “maisons”

@Audra: The architect knew what he/she was doing!

@Meg: thanks :)

Just looking at the outside, makes you want to go in and explore.

Although the one downtown is great so maybe I should rethink that! We could go together even, have you been?

Do they have a nice English books selection?
