Welcome to Litsy!

Show us your #librarycard Since @PaperbackPirate had to replace her card after a wallet theft 😟I commented about my Phoenix Bird library card. Tempe is pretty obvious, Phoenix bird for Phoenix,Scottsdale had several to choose from so took the classic cowboy sign one. Glendale has several to choose from of course I‘ll choose a cat!🐈

I went to the Solstice celebration at the main branch of the library.The building illuminates in a wonderful way,the sun creeping down the west concrete wall of the building shedding a line of light along the carpet. As the sun moves, the west wall darkens & the light creeps up the east concrete wall. This day in 1898 , 14 women start the first Phoenix Public Library in an office building downtown, this poster created by a letter press at library

Don‘t come to Phoenix in the summer. When the low is in the 90s , it is enough to push you over the edge.

Obviously this postcard is older than I am , but I did go to & do miss what was the main branch of the Phoenix library system, great modern building , fantastic light , tiered levels & blonde wood everything, shelves , tables.Not sure when they closed it , remodeled into the Phoenix Art Museum, the 5 floor Burton Barr library opened in 1995 just a couple blocks south. #Library
