Rest Day Delights
Nyack, NY: Rest Day
Day 9 Empire State Trail
Tuesday, August 10, 2021
What is fun down time for you?
I've had two long hill walks.
(Lest we get out of shape on rest day)
Neither involving bicycle.
From & to our hilltop motel,
To Nyack main street,
Mid-morning wander.
Store-front looking,
One bike shop browse.
Dip into used book store that looked like
Movie set for "Harry Potter.”
Surely, pulling out specific book would have
Rolled back the ceiling high jumbled stacks,
Admitting me to some sort of magic.
Real destination:
Nyack's Carnegie Public Library.
Charming, very old original portion,
Two attractive, well-designed additions.
Together house extensive options, books, services,
Plus view out over Hudson River.
Introducing myself using
Decades & current family library connections,
I am especially welcomed.
Fun.
Hugs,
Lin
Limerick:
When I searched today for a used book,I followed Bob's words for the best look.
These Library Friends,
Had book odds & ends.
My best choice is the one that I took!
Two charming, well-cared for hold hillside homes in Nyack
Used Book Store: Chaos or Treasure-trove? (Maybe both...)
Main, original library room, complete w portrait of Andrew Carnegie. Gorgeous, precious wood!
