The history dates back to this cusine in Philadelphia. Just a friendly reminder, the BIRDS won the Super Bowl.
But this post isn’t about how amazing the Philadelphia Eagles are, it’s about history, education and an amazing library planted square in the middle of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania which just happens to be the capitol of PA.
Nestled between some inconvenient parking garages that discriminate against trucks and annoying street parking is the Pennsylvania State Library. There is WAY too much information to provide for the deep, structured and chalk full beautiful history of this facility so I’ll go ahead and post it here (from their very site). It is well worth the read and the librarians and staff did a fantastic job giving us an overview.
After our orientation, we got to explore all floors and even the basement which houses the archives. Downstairs on the, “G LEVEL” are some really cool artifacts, historical books, (Rick from Pawn Stars would drool over these for his shop), statues, paintings and cool sculptures. We happened to run into an employee who showed us the attached auditorium to the library which was not originally part of our photography club’s tour. Right place right time for sure! This dude made my day!
What a blast today was exploring such an amazing historical building housing so many things I would never touch…books. But those are cool, I guess!
