The material for this post must be largely credited to the Flavorwire post that inspired the foundation of my Biggest Baddest Bucket list (BBB). This is Flavorwire's list of the world's 25 most beautiful libraries. This takes us around the globe, getting us to spots where we can dig in and get immersed in local/cultural experiences galore. Big thanks to the Flavorwire folks for compiling a list of the best of the best. To me, libraries are the greatest institutions in the world. They are storage lockers for knowledge and history, they have the potential to architecturally inspire and wow, they bring communities together, and more often than not, make knowledge accessible to anyone and everyone - regardless of who they are.
I want to be a librarian. I want to ignite my passion for librarianship, quench my thirst for writing & traveling, and expand my horizons by seeing & experiencing some of the world's best libraries.
From the locations of these libraries, I will be working to develop my BBB and all's it's beautiful intricacies. I will try to incorporate components of my high school bucket list as well.
Stay tuned and stay curious! Check out the list below. Then please take a moment & vote for me by sharing my profile.
