Boston Public Library, Main Reading Room.
The Library, photo taken in the spring.
Large collection of genealogy books.
Facing the genealogy books, more to the left and right.
One of my often used genealogy books, is the blue, Cemeteries of the United States. It has been in this spot for over 10 years.

Awesome photos.
Why thank you Gale.
Goodness, what a beautiful building, I am not sure I would be getting any research done there, eh?? I would be just staring at all the beauty!
That is the biggest, most beautiful library, genealogy or not, I have ever seen. I'm with Carol. Not a lot of work would get done!
All the comments are exactly right about the BPL. When I'm there I always go see the Sargent murals and the courtyard (if it's nice weather), and then I don't have enough time to get anything done!
Your site is really good and the posts are just wonderful. Thank you and keep doing your great work.
I need to make a trip! I haven't been there in ages. When I was in library school I would occasionally go to the BPL and study in the reading room. Such an inspiring place. Thanks for posting your pictures!
Ladies, thank you for your comments. I am only now just looking at the building, inside and out. Before, it was always the books. (You know what I mean, research was always the priority.)
