On the afternoon of my arrival in Stockholm, [personal profile] 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 whilst [personal profile] cactus_rs hunted up a few titles for checkout.

I can picture Dreamwidth's resident dragoncat librarian, [personal profile] silveradept, being very happy here indeed.
