I saw on my Facebook account that the Houston Public Library had its 120th birthday. I recall interviewing them for a reference position for myself back around 1985 in person. I did have to pay for the travel and hotel which was a pain.

Had interviewed over the years at various Texas public and/or university libraries.

What is your hometown library like?

The Washoe County Public library in downtown Reno is still one of the most beautiful libraries I have been to over the years.

It is also Florida's birthday today.

This is a picture I took of the working fireplace at the library. Taken in February, up north so the fire was welcoming.
