pickThis year I've been reading many books about books or books about libraries. This one is one of my favorites. It is so exceptionally thoughtful and rich.
1) I used to borrow DVDs prior to my DVD membership with Netflix (old school). There are a couple of libraries I frequent with an impressive movie collection. I also borrowed CDs when I had a long commute years ago prior to signing up for Spotify & discovering member supported The Bridge.
2) Never. Unless it's my first time in a library. I basically grew up in a library & prior to Covid would frequent the library 2-3 times per week

Definitely #TeamBorges here...
A booknerd‘s Friday night. Dusting a section of the library and listening to tunes. When you get to the end, you start again. 📖❤️🤓 As Robert Johnson sings, “I believe I‘ll dust my books...”, er, or something like that.
so-soEssays about the power of the books/libraries from the author‘s intimate point of view, from his personal library to the broader aspect and meaning of the libraries through the history. Interesting topic, very informative, but some parts are too dry ...

Inspired by the tagged book I decided to bring some order on my chaotic shelves ... I‘m half a way through my books and I already regretting my decision ...🤯
1️⃣ Physically, none. My uni library is useless to me except for its digital content. And very sadly, my local library's hours are really bad for me.
2️⃣ None at the moment, but I download digital academic articles every second day.
3️⃣ In my life? Every format at least once.
4️⃣ No, see №2.
5️⃣ None at the moment. Will likely make a bunch or interlibrary loan request this summer, however.
6️⃣ None, see №5.
“The various qualities of my readings seem to permeate my every muscle, so that, when I finally decide to turn off the library light, I carry into my sleep the voices and the movements of the book I‘ve just closed.”
#QuotsyNov18 Day 18: As a child, I didn‘t consider becoming a #Librarian ever. Now, it is all I think about. :)
Today I went to an exhibition with @alessandrafn . And I have no words to explain how incredible "The Library at Night" is, based on Alberto Manguel's book. It has a replica of the author's own library and an unbelievable virtual reality session! I hope you also have the opportunity to experience it!

Congratulations on 1,001 followers @BarbaraBB It's definitely well deserved! Alberto Manguel very well might be my favorite literary critic. No other living writer has more thoroughly explored the meaning of, & the ethics of, "the art of reading." All three volumes, while different, have been constant companions for years. I really can't say enough great things about them.

My newly painted and reorganized library created on my upstairs landing- still have items to add but cozy and I have added a sonos speaker for music as well.
1. At least once a week
2. Trinity College Library or Bodleian
3. Currently none. I‘m trying to read books on my shelves.
4. Sadly, I don‘t think I had one as a kid. 🤔 I have one from high school. I think my mom just put my books on her card.
1️⃣ Have not in many many months, and since I'm still on medical leave, haven't been to my uni library in months either.
2️⃣ I'd like to see Beinecke again. British Lib too.
3️⃣ None.
4️⃣ I was 6 and I was pissed because I'd wanted one since I was four!

Alberto Manguel The Library at Night
#albertomanguel #thelibraryatnight
A fabulous book!
Such an interesting & true concept!
so-soSuch interesting topics but, perhaps ironically, I found that it was too broad-ranging for me and lacked curation!
So beautiful. How many books have you dreamed up and then let dissipate on the breeze?
This might be the most beautiful table of contents that I've ever seen. So far, the essays are stunning, as well!
Many of us have read this, but I wanted to add my admiration and accolades, and to share this passage from the conclusion which I plan to print and hang up
My 5 author picks for my #5fordinner

Partial #libraryhaul . Not even sure where to start!! #SFPL
pickManguel writes elegantly and memorably on a broad range of library topics. Starting with the construction of his personal library in the Loire valley, he considers the myriad facets and histories of libraries both personal and public. Published in 2006, his opinions on digital books evolved to being more inclusive from earlier books like "A Reader on Reading." An indispensable book about books, one that will reward rereading.

Several of these classification systems are appealing. Especially date of purchase & reading priorities.
The final word on price stickers.
"All that remains of an Athenian library: an inscription stating that opening times are 'from the first to the sixth hour' and that 'it is forbidden to take works out of the library.'"
I got my days mixed up so here's #library. #sizzlinsummerbooks
#currentlyreading It's a lush, bright world and while I don't understand 90% of the allusions, I truly adore #reading this #book. It's a series of essays on the meaning and mysteries of #libraries throughout history, beginning with #albertomanguel's extraordinary #library in the French countryside. I plan on abandoning it in public along with The 351 books of Irma Arcuri, a small gift, and a written work for #abandonedB2BC. I can't wait to finish!

Once per week I check the ARC stack at the Woodneath library. I have acquired quite a few books for free that are on my tbr. Once I placed a hold on Drew Magary's "The Hike." When I arrived to pick it up, I noticed that there was a free copy on the ARC display. Not technically a #littlefreelibrary but close enough.
