A rushed, but enjoyable, visit since we arrived just before closing. The youth areas looked fun! & The leather chairs seemed so comfortable. We were especially intrigued by the running fountain & the owl decoy outside. The staff were also incredibly amiable & helpful during this quick visit.

When we visited the Amesbury Public Library, we saw: a wise owl, a running fountain, a loooong ramp, a fancy fireplace, a captivating ceiling, a lovely teen loft, and a cool children's area. What do you see when you visit a library? Take a minute to see and enjoy all your library has to offer!

This was a shortish visit, one of five on a sunny summer day. After a delicious seafood lunch in Rockport, we continued north and eventually ended up in Amesbury. It’s a town of 17,000 people, not far...

Greg is wearing his signature color palette. He is wearing a plaid shirt that matches perfectly with his yellow corduroy pants & orange fleece vest. Additional 🍊 touches are evident throughout the ensemble. It may be cold outside, but Greg brought in the warmth with his outfit & cheery disposition!

We had the unexpected, wonderful opportunity to visit the Falmouth Memorial library. The exhibit featuring Maine artists was PHENOMEAL! Our chat with the assistant director led us to truly see the impact this library has on its community. The programming & workspaces were especially impressive.

Our visit to the Falmouth Memorial Library was a memorable one. Renovated in 2020, the building was given a modern makeover. We were especially impressed with the current art exhibit. It was easy to explore & we got to learn how lively it is day to day! librarylandproject.org/stories-blog...

Rachael was inspired to dress academically at NELA. She wore a yellow striped button up, a brown knit vest, dark green corduroy trousers, brown Chelsea boots, & a pair of crochet sunflower earrings to tie the look together. She certainly brought more sunshine to the seaside!

Rowley Public Library is a quaint library located on the north shore of Massachusetts. We were impressed by the library’s community engagement and by that taxidermy bird collection! This unassuming library truly struck a chord with us. #libraryjoy #BookSky

Our visit to Rowley Public Library reminded us that every library has a story. What first seemed quiet & simple came alive when we learned about its bird collection. One brief conversation helped us see the space, & its community role, in a whole new light. librarylandproject.org/stories-blog...

Brandon looked incredibly dapper at NELA! He wore a simple jacket& trousers paired with bold pieces. Our favorite piece was the wingtip shoes! The fedora, Brandon’s thin mustache, & the “Franklin D. Roosevelt for President” pin certainly gave homage to the era this outfit was inspired from.

The Jefferson-Madison Regional Libray is a repurposed post office & courtroom. Although not available to the public, it still has its jail cell. Since 1972, it’s served the community with a vast array of resources. This building is a living testament to the history of the area! #booksky #libraryjoy

Katherine L. from North Andover was quite the stand out in hot pink! She paired her pink sweater with a couple of layered necklaces, black pants, and quilted slip on shoes. Katherine’s cozy outfit and her water bottle told us that she was more than prepared for an afternoon of panels at NELA!

Antonia S. had a rockin’ look at NELA! Her graphic tee, all black denim jacket & jeans, doc martens, & cat eye glasses were a punk backdrop to the orange scarf that gave a striking pop of color to the ensemble. Her alternative style gave an air of cool confidence that we can only aspire to!

Greg is looking swell and ready to present at NELA! He is wearing a blue & pink, cityscape print button up, pink trousers, a black & gray geometric print blazer, and black western boots that tie the look together. This is truly a stand out combination of bold patterns and colors!

Jason H. from Worcester looked like he was ready to take NELA by storm! The neutral background of his outfit allowed his tie to really shine! We loved the multi-colored floral tie. And his sneakers color coordinated with it perfectly! Jason’s professional ensemble had him looking at ease.

We were lucky enough to get a tour from a past colleague of ours! AD Tom showed us around. The children’s room, artwork, little free food pantry, local history room, & assistive services were some of the library’s impressive offerings. It was a wonderful time visiting this library & an old pal!

Rachael wore a teal, midi length, accordion style dress to dinner while on board the Norwegian Pearl. She paired the dress with block healed sandals and a gold, laurel leaf headband. The pleats and the headband shined as the focal points of this elegant ensemble.

Rachael enjoyed the library while on board the Norwegian Pearl. This single room, located on the lido deck, held a sizable collection. There were several seating options too. The library was a quiet & comfortable refuge! librarylandproject.org/stories-blog... #libraryjoy #BookSky
