Thank you to all you submitted ideas. As requested, I'm posting a list of suggestions. I apologize if I missed anyone. Unlurking day filled my mailbox (but it was fun to read all of the messages). Ambrosian, Trinity (Dublin) or Vatican (-- from Main Tour http://www.maintour.com/wtlibr1.htm suggested by Barb Engvall) The Folger, Jefferson (oldest building of LOC) (--from Bob Laramee) Huntington (--from Cynthia Carr, Bob Laramee, Nancy Lyle) Houghton (Harvard)(--from Janet Rawdon) British Museum, Sterling or Beinecke (at Yale), Powell (at UCLA) (--from George Pilling) Enoch Pratt (Free Library in Baltimore, MD) (--from M.S. Preissner, Cynthia Carr, Debbie Stafford, and Barb Seeley) Boston Public Library (BPL) (--from Terry Villemure) Newberry Library (--from Cynthia Carr) LC or LBNF (to fit kids "initial craze" or names of famous librarians (--from Earl J.) Dag_Hammarskjöld (United Nations Library) (-- from Monica Green) UNOG (The Geneva UN Library) (-- from Monica Green) Ideas through AskJeeves--Sunsite (Berkeley's Digital Library), OCLC (-- from Monica Green) Celsus (in Roman library in Turkey) (--from cmartz) Beinecke (Yale)--from Mary Ziller's site list and Janet Rawdon) IPL (Internet Public Library) How about just bibliotheque for one and LC for one (Library of Congress). Also, how about Dewey for one? (--from Beth Pounds and a great site with many library names and brief identification (--from Barb Engvall) http://www.maintour.com/wtlibr1.htm Several very interesting web links with pictures of libraries (--Mary Ziller provided the following) The folowing website may be helpful: http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/19library.html It is a link of 19th century libraries on the Digital Archive of American Architecture web page http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/library.html I got to it by searching "famous libraries" in altavista.com and clicking on a Planning and Building Libraries link which brought me to the Planning and Building Libraries site at http://www.slais.ubc.ca/architecture/index.html A link in the left frame takes one to the Famous Libraries web page at http://www.slais.ubc.ca/architecture/Famous.html Under the category historical libraries is a link to the Digital Archive of American Architecture page. http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/19library.html and from Debbie Stafford: "I looked in a book that I have, Whole Library Handbook." "Persian vixier Abdul Kassem Ismail (938-995) traveled with 400 camels that bore his 117,000 volume library everywhere he went. the animals were trained to walk in an order that ensured the books' alphabetical arrangement.
