Sepia Saturday's Library

Despite the amount of time I spend in the local libraries and my love of books this is what I found.

However at the British Library some works need translation.

For the interior of a library the years have moved on.

Library - 1842
Perhaps the linguists among my readers can translate the description: Source - Eberhard Gailer: Neuer orbis pictus für die Jugend oder Schauplatz der Natur, der Kunst und des Menschenlebens. 5. Auflage, Reutlingen, Joh. Conr. Mäcken jun., 1842.

The source for may photos shown on Sepia Saturday is often the Library of Congress so here's another from there.

 Then there is this shot where a Pets for Therapy dog was the star. The venue's a library.
