Library! (I’m sure that sense of deja vu you’re experiencing will pass.) As part of my excursion downtown, I checked out the new Minneapolis Central Library. Unfortunately, it looks like the sign has already taken a few hits…
But wow – isn’t it spectacular? This is the Nicollet Mall side:
And here’s the Hennepin Avenue side:
In the lobby, nifty technology…
…was balanced with ancient wisdom…
…in this statue of Minerva, Roman goddess of crafts and wisdom. What’s not to like about a library with the goddess of smart knitters in the lobby?! Especially when the banners on Nicollet Mall were so much fun?! This one reads “Meet Batgirl, Librarian!”
Back on the home front, we return to my foot, obviously in great danger…
Oh, and I found this odd little note tucked into my bag this morning:
Dear Bella,
I am writing to you out of my deep respect and concern for your well-being (and since I am convinced that you are a cat trapped in a dog’s body). I am not sure if you are aware of what is going on, but it appears that your mom is plotting against you. It sounds like she is bringing another furbaby into your household, by name of “Louie” – are you aware of this?! I suggest that you take immediate measures to thwart this diabolical plot. Such treachery cannot be allowed.
Yours truly, with purrs and licks,
Chaos
