I didn't know you take field trips when you are in graduate school. Well on Nov. 9th at 8am, a bunch of librarians got on a big yellow school bus marked "special" on the side. We were on our way to Quebec City. We toured three libraries, a public one, a government one, and a historical society one. The third one was beautiful, it was the perfect romantic notion of what a library should be. Two stories of shelves, a spiral staircase, dark woods, and busts of important looking men. Even Charles Dickens had spoken there. I could not have visited this library with a better group of people...walking around I heard, "I never want to leave..." "Can I just live here?" Hushed whispers proclaiming what everyone was thinking...this is why we are in library school.
