? Written in front of the library series: When these old tourists go to a city, they will go to the bookstores and libraries there, because the libraries and bookstores in a city can best reflect the spirit of a city. I remember when I was a child, the university library caught fire and the old professors cried (fortunately, they didn't lose their books). One of my respectable sisters graduated from Wuhan University majoring in library and information science, and she also told me a lot about books.

So I've always wanted to write a library series, including the library in China. Pay tribute to them! ?

"If you hide your ignorance, no one can hurt you, but you can learn nothing."

"Most people can't travel around, can't talk to everyone, can't understand the cities in the world, and we don't have time, money or so many friends. But for an ordinary person, the only way to see 90% of them is to read books. Don't ask for guarantees. Don't expect to seek relief from something, someone, a machine or a library. Save yourself, if you are addicted, at least when you die, you know that you are swimming to the shore. "

Boston Library is the first public library in the United States, the first library open to the public, and the first library that allows ordinary citizens to borrow books and take them home for reading and use.

With 8.9 million books and audio/video (about 240,000, including all formats), the Boston Public Library is the second largest public library in the United States, second only to the Library of Congress.

1895 The Mckim Building of Boston Public Library is a typical Italian Renaissance architectural style. The gate is engraved with the word "free for all", which is open to all and is known as the "people's palace". There are two Statues of Goddess on both sides of the main entrance, and the names of great scientists and artists are engraved on the pedestal respectively. The top of the building is engraved with the words "Boston Library Building was built by people and scholars who devoted themselves to knowledge".

Whether a university is good or not depends on its library, and whether a city is civilized depends on its library. Boston Public Library is definitely the best interpretation of this sentence. The whole library is magnificent inside, just like a palace.
