Exercise 15: Commenting on other blogs.

On Anne Laidlaws blog I left a comment on her post, Investigative Exercise 3: Photo sharing and flickr.
Great post, I just looked through the National Library of Irelands flickr stream, everything looks awesome from the 'Small Lives' exhibition. You are lucky you got to visit the reconstructed site. My stand out picture would have to be the 'easy and graceful'. 
I also commented on the changes Anne made to her blog.Sophie
I commented on Saori Nemotos post Investigative Exercise 4: YouTube, and left the following comment:
 I really enjoyed this video of Neil Gaiman,it is sad that so many libraries are underfunded when they are so vital for communities. I love Neil Gaiman more than Anne

Investigative Exercise 3: Photo sharing and flickr.

I found a ton of fantastic photos of libraries, here are my two favourites:
The Bologna Library in Italy. It looks amazing, the perfect place to sit and read or study. It looks huge with towering bookcases and dim lights on the desks. It makes me want to go study in Italy so I could visit the library. This photo is part of the libraries and librarian group on flickr.


Library of the Istituto delle Scienze, Palazzo Poggi, Bologna

The second photo I loved was from the Boston Public Library on Copley Square.The windows and high ceilings are amazing. I visited a few libraries in New York, if I had known what Boston had to offer I would have made the effort to go see this library The Boston Public Library on Copley Square
