When you go on a vacation have you ever visited someone else's library?
A few weeks ago I went on a trip to Chicago to see a friend. On our way to Millenium Park, I noticed there was a train stop for the Harold Washington Library Center. I immediately asked my friend if we could take a look.
The Harold Washington Library Center is Chicago's central library. It was every bit as beautiful and iconic as other sights I had seen in the city, yet because it was a library, it felt like home.
This library is 9 floors high and the children's room boasts the largest collection of children's books in Chicago! In the center of the children's area is the famous "storybook dollhouse" where over 70 references to famous children's books are hidden delicately within.
The very upstairs floor is a beautiful room with trees and windows which gives a lovely area for studying.
So if you ever find yourself in the Windy City, make sure you do these things:
1. Taste some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
2. Take a walk in Millenuim Park
3. Visit the Harold Washington Library Center
