Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Library From Above (August 2012)

One of my favourite things about any library I’ve ever worked in – whether it was some small town library in SE Saskatchewan on the Central Branch of Regina Public Library, is having the opportunity to be in the library before it opens to the public. Magical.

FTRW 2016 – Day Seven – Saturday Snap – Freedom to Read in Cuba?

Below are a couple photos I took in Havana during our 2011 trip to Cuba. This was a street vendor stall selling books (which is good!) but most here (and in our hotel’s gift shop or anywhere else we found books) were heavily propagandistic (bad!).
