Guest Post: My Incredibly Delightful Emilie Loring Journey

August 16, 2019

I wonder how many of us read our first Emilie Loring book on some sort of transportation. I was on a train, and our guest writer, Ruth, read her first on a bus. Settle back and enjoy her journey:  It was the summer of 1956; I was 18, and this was the first time I … More Guest Post: My Incredibly Delightful Emilie Loring Journey

Our Selves in our Libraries

January 28, 2018

It’s a dream of mine to have a library. I would have shelves on three walls, some open and some with glass doors.

Boston’s Little Secret.

November 17, 2015

There are design reasons why this courtyard at the Boston Public Library invites one to rest, contemplate, and linger, but simply walk in, and you can feel it.  A special place for a cup of coffee, a sandwich, a chapter… Bostonians are only half-kidding when they say they want to keep the courtyard a secret.  The … More Boston’s Little Secret.

from Valentine Loring Titus, Emilie Loring’s granddaughter:
