Day 282/365: Stockholm Public Library
On the afternoon of my arrival in Stockholm, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cactus_rs met me at a cafe after work so we could have some cheap and tasty risotto followed by a stroll up Sveavagan to the Stockholm Public Library. The building is nice enough from the outside, but it’s the interior that inspires awe. I would give a lot to be reincarnated as this library’s resident cat.
We arrived about 10 minutes before closing, so it was a bit of a mad dash round the place with my camera whilstcactus_rs hunted up a few titles for checkout.
View from the first balcony level toward the big clock. The time reads one minute prior to closing.
“Hiss” means lift/elevator.
Fantasy fiction, anyone?
Pleased to see there are two copies of Dracula available.
Lots of last-minute checking out.
Ceiling light fixture.
Display of unique book-binding styles.
View from the first balcony level toward the front entrance.
I can picture Dreamwidth's resident dragoncat librarian,silveradept, being very happy here indeed.
