Boston Public Library and New England Aquarium

 

 

 

 

We went to the Boston Public Library. This is unlike any Library I have ever visited. With 14.9 million volumes, the Boston Library is the third largest library in the U.S. In addition to its extensive circulating Library the Library's collection has special strengths in art and art history, American history, and maintains a depository of governmental documents. There are large collections of prints, works on paper, photographs, and maps, rare books, and medieval manuscripts. After the Library we went to the New England Aquarium. We weren't very impressed with this Aquarium. There weren't very many exhibits, and after going to the Aquarium in Chicago it is hard to enjoy smaller Aquariums. None the less, we had a great time!
