I decided to take a few photos of the windows at the library where I work. It’s a small library staffed by volunteers, after the much larger neighborhood library had to close due to budgetary reasons. But at least this way the children have somewhere close by to check out books.
It is a bit hard to see from this angle, but in the right window you have a large green ‘B’ (since the word for library in Dutch is bibliotheek). The B is made up of lots of smaller Bs – look at the top to see it best.
A few random Dutch words I learned today:
coloring page = kleurplaat
glitter = glitter (spelled the same, but with the hardcore ‘g’ guttural sound)
I must also admit that the window above does not convey the prettiness of the yards (tuinen) outside the window. Very green!
