Okay, so I also really need to post these photos - of a secret spiral staircase concealed behind a bookshelf in the Morgan Library, to access the upper levels

Although the upper-level walkways are not open to the general public, the actual access to them (for staff, presumably) is by secret spiral staircases concealed behind the bookcases. How cool is that?! (And apparently sometimes the Morgan Library does special tours of the 'secret' areas)

As my post of the Morgan Library yesterday was so popular, here's another image from it - with a tapestry called 'The Triumph of Avarice'

I could go for an apple-pear with figs pie right now. I’m not sure just what a saffron and orengeado pie is, but hey, I’d give that a go as well

Your library series is always a bright spot of my day. I wanted to add one of my favorite libraries from the small Texas town of Kilgore (population ~11,000). Built in 1939 to look like a fairy-tale castle, it was 4 blocks away and a magical safe haven for a voracious 12 year old reader.

Wow! Texts are super rare for the Hittites, basically there’s just one archive and it’s 95% lists of prayer sacrifices to mountain gods, so this is really, really exciting!
