FRIDAY VIEWS

First of all, I want to thank everyone for your incredible support of me.  I've had this new blog up for less than a month and already I have 11 followers and over 600 views.  This is so incredible for me and I thank you so very, very much.

And now it's back to my Friday views.  I intend to continue it over here with a Philly Friday thrown in here and there.

Since it is Friday and I am not working on Saturday it's back to Fishtown Branch today.  I posted pictures of Fishtown before, but it's been awhile so this is sort of a repeat.

This is the Fishtown Branch:

It doesn't look much like a library because it started life in the 19th century being a stable for the police horses.  The police station is right next door.  You can see the parking lot to the left of the building and the police station behind the library (near the white car).

Here are some pictures that I took of the inside of the library.




This is taken from the front desk.  We have a little balcony area that holds the fiction and teen books.  The kids in the after school program made these fish out of paper plates to decorate the bottom of the balcony.



This is the children's area.  The fish are wooden cut outs and the waves are made of neon lights.  So cool looking when the overhead lights are out.



This is taken from the front door.  You can see the balcony area better here.  The round desk is the librarian's desk.  The check in/out is to the right.  That's where I am.

It's a tiny library (probably the smallest in Philly) but a nice place to work.

Now it's off to get breakfast, take my shower, and get myself together for work.  I have to run to the bank first, so I'd better get moving.

Until later...
