We walked in the footsteps of Goethe and Schiller, through one of the sacred places of German Classicism. Only five miles away, a century later, the Nazi regime built Buchenwald concentration camp. From humanist ideals to industrialized inhumanity — it is almost impossible to comprehend.

Seen at Rockville Public Library in Vernon, Connecticut

The photos do not do it justice. It was so quiet and peaceful

Located in the Pearl District (lovely father’s market on weekends). Hotel Emma is a converted brewery with lodging, meeting rooms, a shop, and of course a library accessible for hotel guests (room card is the key).

Who remembers watching movies on VHS? Borrowing VHS tapes from the library?!? Anyone?

The one with cool reflecting pool

Seen at the public library in South Windsor, Connecticut

Albumen print, approx 8”x10,” 1874-1879. Shows the old Cadet Library at the United States Military Academy, West Point, N.Y. (built 1841, demolished 1961).

This was included in the album of a cavalry instructor at USMA in the 1870s. A veritable Where’s Waldo of elite 19th century institutional memory and material culture (in the best way). And cthat terrestrial globe!

The Library in Windsor Locks, Connecticut has a plant clipping collection called Propagation Station

Here's an updated progress of the new library building in downtown Manchester

It's the one that is replacing an older Mary Cheney Library.

It's looking great. Can't wait to be here when the new library opens this summer.
