Queue


I couldn't believe it one morning when I was in town for a haircut. I'd parker my car down the road further and was walking past the local library when I saw a queue of people waiting outside for it to open, it's not often I see something like this.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Here it depends on the branch, but I am rarely near a library at opening hours.

Looks like a nice place to read a book. The only time we've seen a line at our libraries is when they are lined up to vote. We aren't very proud of those lines but that doesn't happen very often. Since we are retired we try to go during the middle of the day, most times no lines there.

This librarian loves that people are waiting for the library to open. That happens here too where I live in California.

They must have a thirst for knowledge.

Even with Kindle real books are still no one. There's something about turning those pages, flicking backwards and forwards. Lucky you to have a library! Though we do have a few shelves of free books to read and swap

I've never seen a queue for our library except when checking out and now there are machines that you can check yourself in or out.

I've never seen a queue at the library. Yours look like a nice place with the sun coming in through those windows. Hope you liked your haircut!

I was going to say that it's hopeful to see people wanting to read! But I think often nowadays people use Libraries because they have computers available to the public. I kind of miss going to my local Libraries now that I read almost only on my Kindle. (I still use my Library card to borrow books on line).

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
