pickLibraries from the beginnings of writing in Mesopotamia down to the time of Isidore of Seville (late 6th/early 7th centuries AD).
Interesting information and yet somehow it feels a bit flimsy.
Amazing find in Cologne! Ancient Roman public library discovered. #LitsyLovesLibraries #evenreallyoldones

pickBasically a survey of what it says on the tin. I was a little surprised at how widespread libraries are thought to have been in the Roman Empire.
#BookNBrunch! #Punxsutawney edition! Accompaniment this crisp and clear noon hour was: pancakes, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, and tea. MMMmmm 😋! Happy reads & happy eats 😎👌🏻! This was at Punxsy Phil's Cakes & Steaks. And my parents' towing company's ad is in the lower left-hand corner 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!
Apparently #Cocoa likes to be around readers too 😁😻. 6 people in the house and he chose me. (Could be because of my parents' ultra-comfortable chair though. 😆) #dogsofLitsy #ThanksgivingVacation
*wipes a tear* This #LitsyFamily is among the kindest group of folks I've ever come across. After a post office snafu, @BookBabe & I have been humbled to receive a birthday package from a fellow Litten. Heart-felt generosity knows no bounds here. Thank you, Litten, you've really touched our hearts. There aren't enough words to express our thanks. *biiiig hug* These are AMAZING!!! And the chocolate, ohh myy; as Billie Holiday said, "I'm in heaven."
A book about libraries from the time of clay tablets. With some stories about epic library wars. On my new bookish purse. #booksaboutbooks #readingwomenmonth
Epic library battles of the ancient world. I don't think there is anything cooler!
Already behind on #seasonsreadings2016! You'd think, as a librarian, that I'd own more books set in libraries. I've read a bunch, but I guess I've checked them all out? #setinlibrariesbookstores @RealLifeReading
Some books that are #setinlibrariesbookstores - I'm loving this challenge because I'm finding so many great recs! #seasonsreadings2016
Well, it's not the "ancient world", but our little Grass Valley, CA library is a step back in time, nonetheless. Founded in 1916, and just celebrated its centennial, this jam-packed oasis in our small town has been a constant companion since I first moved to the Sierra Foothills in 2012. #LitsyLovesLibraries
