The town library of Ladenburg is a fine building in its own right. But I mainly like it because of the sculpture in front: a woman comfortably draped over the wall, engrossed in a book. Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Libraries and bookstores

Words of Wisdom – Y25 #3

Another chance to quote my favourite author, Terry Pratchett. This time not from one of his works set in his own universe, aka Discworld, but from an essay he wrote about J.R.R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings. Nevertheless, I think the theme needs the photo of a librarian to be complete.
