the john rylands library is one of those places that transports you to a different world. ah, to have the luxury of reading old books and manuscripts in such a beautiful setting. we aimlessly wandered around the library, venturing into some pockets of reading areas along the sides of the library. whilst it was cold, seeing stackful of old and rare books and manuscripts brought tingles through me. the library is housed in a neo-gothic building that resembles a church and i was particularly looking forward to entering the library through the facade. but, that was not meant to be. entrance is on the side via a modern building.
definitely worth a visit when you are in Manchester, England.
