I have been meaning for a long time to start going to local libraries to write in a congenial atmosphere. Additionally I have been meaning to go to Little Falls Public Library because midyork.org told me a particular book I wanted was there. I finally got there today. I did not find the book, but I found three others I would like to read. I took them to a lovely space where I could sit and write.
I should have gotten a shot of the ceiling.
I wrote a post card to an aunt and finished a letter to a friend. I want to write things such as novels, plays and murder mysteries, but one must write what one can. While I wrote, I kept pausing to look at the ceiling, furnishings, and woodwork surrounding me. Part of the library is an historic home. I forget who lived there, but I think I knew at one time.
What a staircase for an entrance!
No admittance upstairs, which is too bad, because I would have loved to go up those stairs. My staircase at home is so boring!
I especially like the mirror with the marble seat.
I did not get an outside shot of the library, because I would have had to cross the street to get a good one, and I wanted to be on my way. No matter. I will go to the library again. I mean to make going to the library a thing, like when I lived in Rome and went to Jervis Public Library all the time. Only now I have several local libraries I can go to. Maybe I’ll get some of those novels, plays, and murder mysteries written after all!
Little Falls Public Library is located at 10 Waverly Place, Little Falls, NY, phone number 315-823-1542.
