My friend, who knows me well, sent me this awesome card 'just because.' 😊

This was mentioned in The Times yesterday. Background noises of 4 libraries at Oxford University!
Unfortunately I can‘t make it work on my ipad (maybe need a different browser) but it works fine on my PC... it‘s rather relaxing....

Lovely walk around The Bodleian Library - one of the oldest libraries in Europe.
#Riotgrams #day2 #LibraryLove If I could click my heels and wish I was in any library in the world, it would be The Bodleian Library in Oxford, England. A library was first built here in the 14th century before having a period of decline. In 1598 a former Oxford scholar, Thomas Bodley, donated money & a number of his own books to help rebuild it into a world class library. Officially opened in 1602 it was named the Bodleian in his honour.
#OldCoolBooks #day5 #Incunabulum One of my biggest dreams is to visit the Bodleian Library in Oxford. It has one of the biggest collections of incunabulum in the world, including originals of the Gutenberg Bible & many other beautifully illuminated manuscripts. Can you imagine what it smells like in any one of their reading rooms? Or in the stacks? It‘s a bibliophiles wet dream!😍📖😍📖😍📖😍
