Vacation destination: the library
My grandmother sent me an article from her local newspaper (the Plattsburgh Press-Republican) about the New York Public Library.
The article, in the travel section, begins:
New York City certainly isn’t the place to prove that the best things in life are free.
But one important resource there never levies any charges.
And it turns out to be a great tourist stop, too.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the article doesn’t just tout the library as a thrifty tourist stop, but goes into detail about why the library is an interesting place to visit – and puts in a plug for visiting your local library, too:
The library in New York City merits a stop next time you’re in the Big Apple. But remember, the one in your own home community is worth a stop anytime.
I don’t know if my grandmother knows this, but the first place my husband and I went on our honeymoon was the Enoch Pratt Free Library! And last year my mom and I had a great time exploring the Boston Public Library, with a nice lunch in their cafe.
