06/22/2006 Archived Entry: "BOOKS!"

So I went to check out the new ultra-high-tech library that just opened down the street, and I gotta say, it was pretty cool! Very spacious, with lots of rooms for quiet study (somewhat of a surprise since we're not close to anything more than elementary schools) and a great assortment of books, music, movies, and best of all...comics/mangas/BDs! Here's a picture taken with my trusty Bat-Phone. I was pretty impressed with the selection, a lot of the requesite graphic novels were there, and the selection of BDs (bande dessines/french comics) was pretty close to what is available in the main branch building.

As cool as the library here is, La Biblioteque National in Montreal is a lot cooler! The BD selection is 10 maybe 20 times larger. In fact, I doubt I've ever seen a larger collection of BDs anywhere. The place is pretty much a tourist attraction, and seemed more museum-y than library-y to me. Especially considering the security guards standing around telling people not to take pictures. Here's one of the CD section on the music floor (yeah..a whole floor dedicated to music).

Outside the library, we saw this humongo dog. Hard to tell in that picture, but the thing was at least 4 Gosias, so like..250 lbs or more. The dog was being pet(ted?) by this odd couple on the street .

I'm not so sure that's female... is it?

It was. But a very unattractive one.
