Literary Boston #3: Boston Public Library and the Boston Athenaeum

[@tealorturquoise]

Such wonderful libraries and Bach's Cello Suites as background music was perfect.

[@HannahsBooks]

Both places were so lovely! Thank you so much for stopping by.

[@hannahwhittaker3951]

Thank You, Hannah, for taking us to these two places that are enough to make all of us want to find special reading places outside our homes!

[@HannahsBooks]

♥️

[@jf8559]

Thank you so much, Hannah! Seeing those places with all their wonderful collections, just such a treat!

[@HannahsBooks]

They are both such amazing places!

[@JohnAllenRoyce]

The Boston Library is a great space, love the Hall for studying. I like that the history was respected.

[@HannahsBooks]

Do you study there regularly? How wonderful that would be!

[@BookishTexan]

Thank you for showing us those great bookish places.

[@HannahsBooks]

♥️ I was so pleased to get to spend some time in them!

[@marciajohansson769]

I am loving the tours around Boston. I am inspired to see some of these wonderful places now that I have the time. I am lucky to call Massachusetts my home state.

[@HannahsBooks]

You live in a really special place!

[@Nina_DP]

Thank you for taking us with you. It's lovely seeing you go places.

[@HannahsBooks]

It was such a lovely week!

[@heathergregg9975]

Bookish treats galore here. Hannah, you looked like you fitted right in. Can't believe that there is more film to come - so glad you are taking all this time to carefully edit each video, they are gems.

[@HannahsBooks]

Thank you so much, Heather, for your kind words. It was so wonderful to get to immerse myself in this bookish world all week.

[@michaelmoore6481]

Worth waiting for. Superb buildings. The music fitted beautifully. Look forward to more. Kind regards.

[@HannahsBooks]

Thank you so much! This has been some of my favorite music since I was a young girl!

[@CarolAttrux]

That was wonderful, Hannah! Thank you very much.🌸

[@HannahsBooks]

[@HannahsBooks]

Thank you so much! I had such a lovely time in the city and am eager to go back!

[@duggosgreatesthits6622]

I really enjoyed the library tours. The music was an added bonus. You blessed my day. Thanks Hannah!

[@HannahsBooks]

Thank you so much for this kind comment!

[@CarolR-r9h]

Very good video. Thank you.

[@HannahsBooks]

Glad you stopped by!

[@insearchofwonder]

Loved the clips and the music! I really loved visiting the Boston Library when we went there in the spring, although we were there in the dark and I totally didn't realize what the sculpture was. That is an odd choice for a library sculpture - I can see why it would raise eyebrows! I need to get to the Athenaeum. I considered it, but we just didn't have time.

[@HannahsBooks]

Oh yes! I remember some of your video footage now! You went to Beacon Hill Books, yes? What a lovely place.

[@Dawnsbookreviews]

Dear Hannah: Thank you for sharing your footage with us! I also like Bach !! All these arches remind me of Italy! The fountain is beautiful!! ❤❤❤❤

[@HannahsBooks]

Both libraries are such beautiful places!

[@jodihowe7274]

I just finished watching this wonderful video, today, October 1st. So you know what that means Hannah!!!! HAPPY VICTOBER🧡

[@HannahsBooks]

Thank you! I’m so excited Victober is here!

[@clarepotter7584]

There’s a certain painting in Boston Julia Sun-Joo Lee references - regarding a description of a painting by Jane Eyre. No spoilers but I think it’s her most compelling argument in that chapter.

[@HannahsBooks]

Ooh-I can’t wait to see more!

[@Tristan-L-Space-Books]

You must have been at the BPL right as it opened for it to be so empty! What a treat!

[@HannahsBooks]

Yes indeed! I arrived right as the BPL opened and filmed a bit first thing. By the time I left, it was really filling up (and I was much too nervous to pull out my camera)!

[@Tristan-L-Space-Books]

@@HannahsBooks that's my plan for the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum! I still need to get to the Athenaeum

[@HannahsBooks]

@@Tristan-L-Space-Books The Athenaeum is definitely worth a trip. The ISG was already jam-packed when I arrived-but it was still amazing! Boston is a pretty amazing city…

[@CionMohler]

The Antheneum is what I think heaven looks like.

[@HannahsBooks]

Now that is a lovely idea!
