My Library, Part Deux

This is the entrance to my library...Atorville Merchantile

This is the opposite side of the entrance...generally called the exit =)

This is our fireplace - above it hangs a print pointilism of OK history, including the Trail of Tears, Will Rogers, the state seal, etc.

And this is the comfy sofa I often use when reading to my Kindergartners. That is a bookwork laying along the length of the sofa. It should be careful, because my windows don't have any pane so that dear may turn omivore sometime and put a hurt on 'da bookworm'.

Please excuse the box on the sofa - it contains a flatscreen monitor that is in the process of being married to his wife CPU tower.

Love,
G

My Library

I have had several requests from my favorite aunt to see a picture of my library. Translation ~ "several requests" was my mom said to & "favorite aunt" which ever one I'm talking to at that moment, except for the real favorite aunt & she knows who she is...and we leave it unspoken so as to not bother her sisters (she has four one of which is my mother) and my cousins since I'm her favorite niece.

Anyway, this is the circulation desk that we (Moe, Joni, Nancy, Tracy, Me & did I forget anyone) art-if-icated.
Let me just say that while the desk is gorgeous, it was the most incredibly difficult 'little project' I have ever done. In fact, when I had to add it to my inventory with a 'valuation' we used a $50 an hour plus materials formula and the cost ended up around $10,000 - and that weren't mostly materials folks.

This is the browsing area also known as my collection also known as the books and stuff...




This is the classroom where I teach my world-class-library-of-the-world-lessons.



And of course this is my office, where I plan those world-class-library-of-the-world-lessons
with a close up of the desk where the magic really happens...


I did forget to take a picture of the entrance which looks like a old-time general store. Because, in case you didn't notice, I have a western theme going on. And that there is my library folks.

Love,
G
