Of course I’d write a post about libraries. I’m an English major.
Right now I’m sitting in the Reading Room at the top floor of the Seattle Central Library. You can read more about this library if you’d like, but here’s the quick and dirty: it was re-opened in 2004 after Seattle voters opted for a [...]
