3 things that have made me smile today

[pandop]

All from the same book - The Library at Night Alberto Manguel

Firstly a quote, allegedly from the library at Alexandria

The place of the cure of the soul

If I ever have a library/craft room, I am so making a sampler of this for the wall :)

Secondly, that Pepys made little 'high heels' for his smaller books, so that the tops were all level on his shelves!

Thirdly, that the LoC has subject headings which include:
- bat binding
- chickens in religion and folklore
- sewage: collected works

One of my colleagues was very excited recently when she was able to use the LoC heading :-

Alien labourers.

I must read that book. Every one of these things also made me smile.

It is shaping up to be a wonderful book
