Liberry liberry liberry

I am posting from the new Very Big Library! (La Grande Bibliothèque de du Québec.) It's four stories of bare concrete and blond hardwood and glass elevators and panoramic split-level staircases, smells like old books and new Ikea. It is free free free. I am bursting with civic pride and trying out all the chairs by reading Mirage on them. dipping_sauce, you're going to love it. XD

This is totally going to be the highlight of my week. How often does one get a spanking new Very Big Library anyway.

(Get on the Internet from this IP and both Google and Livejournal default helpfully to French. XD)

Any chance they have MANGA at La Grande Bibliothèque du Québec?

[dipping_sauce]

They'd better! ^^!

(You read Planetes, right? Do you know if the fourth volume has come out here in French yet?)

I HAVE Planetes... I haven't read it yet since I'm waiting for #4 (I have read all 3 volumes in English (TokyoPop's version) already).

And no... they did not have it at Renaud-Bray in Montreal last week when I was there...

Gah. Makes me want to go back to GW, and specifically, Gelman Library (http://www.gwu.edu/gelman). Which is *seven* stories of bare concrete and occasional chairs...and three of Russian and Polish socialist realist novels and 1950's Defense Department handbooks on psychological warfare...

Yeah.

Except when I *am* in DC next month, unless I can get an alumni ID card, I won't be able to enter. *Wargh*!

Ah...I'd love it more if they had hired me. >.> Jerks. I wanted to work with the pretty books! ;.; Maybe I ruined my chances by saying I adored the smell...
