Central Library: Glass, Steel, and Paper in Seattle, WA

Posted on March 24, 2016 by Annaleigh Josephs • Leave a comment

If libraries are paper filled heavens, then Central Library of the Seattle Public Library is more of a modern architectural dream instead of an ancient Mount Olympus. Given some time to myself in the rainy city, I made the choice to explore the Central Library (which was only a few blocks from where I would … Continue reading →

McHuston: Books and Bites in Broken Arrow, OK

Posted on March 17, 2016 by Annaleigh Josephs • Leave a comment

Two things always seem to call me to a place: Irish anything and books. Combine the two and you’ve got an AJ-shaped beacon- my own Batsignal. So when my Tulsa guide sent me a picture of the door of McHuston Booksellers, he did so knowing I would demand he show me where I could find … Continue reading →

Libraries are pieces of heaven in which thousands of worlds lay dormant, bound in leather, wood, and paper, a world of possibility and excitement all contained within man-made walls. That being said, Bizzell Memorial Library on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma is an example of such a heaven which is well beyond … Continue reading →

It’s hard to believe, but it’s already Friday. I know, I know, thank goodness, right? Well, honestly, I’m just in awe of the way the year has already begun to fly by. Speaking of fly-bys, though, British astronaut Tim Peake has begun photography lessons in space and shared some gorgeous shots of the Aurora Borealis … Continue reading →

Gardner’s: A Bibliophile Haven in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Annaleigh Josephs • 1 Comment

There’s a little piece of heaven in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’d been teased about this place before, but nothing my local guide could say would prepare me for the wonderland that is Gardner’s Used Books. Of course, it also couldn’t prepare me for their outlet behind the store, but I’ll get to there in a minute. … Continue reading →
