biblioTECa

THREE CHEERS! It’s National Library Week, bookworms and library cats!

Our favorite time of year and the perfect opportunity to shower some love onto your local (and not local) Libraries, both in person and online. You may remember that last year we made a master post of Libraries to follow in honor of this week. Well, we’re happily continuing the tradition with ANOTHER master post of all the glorious Libraries we know (so far) on tumblr. 

Check them out below, show them some love, and (if you aren’t already) #followalibrary!!

Can you believe there’s so many of us?! :D This labor of love continues to grow each year and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

As always, feel free to keep the Library love going by adding any Libraries we missed/don’t know of yet! And, naturally, if you haven’t followed US yet… Well, this week’s the perfect time to start, wouldn’t you say? ;)

Never forget we Libraries love all of our bookworms and library cats, and your support online and in person (*hint hint nudge nudge*) make all the difference! So stay gold, and keep visiting your Libraries!

She’s a folk heroine, whose love story can be read here

It is said that her lover, Panganoron, is the clouds that surround Mt. Mayon’s peak, while she is herself the volcano, which has always been seen as remarkably beautiful in shape

It’s said that the volcano grew where they were buried together

Which is why the shape of two lovers seen in the smoke of its most recent eruption is so culturally significant. 

Lovely and inviting window seat
