I still have to return some items, but Saturday's visit to a new library was probably my last.
I had been wanting to visit the
Joan MirĂ³ library for a while but the timing never seemed right.
The visit had a rough when I walked in and set off the alarm. Even though it was obvious that I did nothing wrong it was still awkward. I thought I would use the self-return kiosk, but I pressed the
escollir idioma (choose language, in Catalan) button nothing happened. I attempted to figure out it despite the Catalan, but someone was waiting so I tried to tell him I couldn't read the Catalan. The library employee came hurrying over to rescue me, taking the books to the desk. "These are in English," he announced. I told him that I read English very well. "These are from another library," he announced. I told him that each month I visit a different library. He is not impressed and tells me to speak more quietly. Here less than five minutes and I was ready to disappear!
But no! I had to at least get the movie I came for and take some pictures for my loyal readers!!

The library is long and skinny and covered in solar panels. |
|
One entrance faces the park and |
|
The other entrance faces the street. No water in the moat right now. |
|
Upstairs was filled with people doing work |
|
and browsing books. |
I didn't see the English section and I don't know how I missed the children's area. Sorry for the limited description!
