My Top Ten Book-Related Places

Hosted at Broke and Bookish
Top Ten Favorite Book-Related Places

1. Graham-Kapowsin High School Library (My library!)
The circular part of the building is the library on the 2nd floor
2. Puyallup Public Library
It has really interesting architectural features inside.

3. Pierce County Library
This is the public library I frequent the most often.
4. Seattle Public Library
This thing is so cool inside and out.  It makes the top ten list of the coolest libraries in the world.
5. Suzzallo Library on University of Washington campus
This is a gorgeous library, it is almost like a cathedral. This is where I did my training to become a librarian.
6. Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon
This bookstore is a destination. Once you enter you need a map to find your way around.
7. Elliott Bay Books
I could spend a whole day browsing this Indy bookstore in Seattle.

8. Smith Family Bookstore in Eugene, Oregon
A bit on the junky side, but really helpful clerks and one can find true treasures.

9. King's Books in Tacoma, Washington

They have a great selection and a bookstore cat, too.

10. Hammocks
Backyard. Books. Hammock.  Ah..h..h
