  7. Vancouver Public Library, taking your knowledge to greater heights.

    One of my fav places. I just recently rediscovered the joy of spending time there after not going for so long.
    They offer so many great free events and workshops. And I love hanging out there to work on my creative projects.
    Public libraries are the best! And the VPL central branch is an architectural gem on top of it!

  9. A neat new (old) thing at my library is the launch of the VPL Virtual Vault, providing access to rare and historical books digitized from our collection.

    "In partnership with Internet Archive Canada, a trained technician has been using a special machine called the Scribe to scan unique and historically valuable books and documents page by page."

    Access the collection here:

    That reply put your book on hold for me at the #VancouverPublicLibrary 📚
    History is almost always richer the more we look at the folks who aren’t the big leaders and crowd pleasers

    And object history is fun

    I just bought @mwichary’s #ShiftHappens book on keyboards

    Yours fits right next to Craig Robertson’s The Filing Cabinet 🗄️ in an office technologist bookshelf

    I’ve got this on hold at the #VancouverPublicLibrary now!📚

    The ancient words for “accordion book” were included in the “Metaphorical Uses” section of the proposal for the #AccordionEmoji 2020 🪗

    … “leporello” or “accordion-fold” books (Japanese, 折本; Korean, 折帖裝; Chinese, 摺子裝, 經摺裝)…
