One of the things that inspired me to suggest this was a virtual reality tour of 10 libraries in a video created by Robert Lepage, a local brilliant director. I have no idea where or how you would be able to see it, but there is a 4 minute trailer that you can watch. The beginning is how our tour started, in what seems to be a small, personal library. Then you go into a room with lamps with green shades and you put on the VR glasses. And then you can see all the libraries -some very old, and look around at all there is to see in them. It's very moving. You get just a hint of it in the last minute. If you ever have a chance to see "the Library at Night" it is well worth it.

If the link doesn't work, google The library at night and then click on the trailer.
Fabulous! Thank you, Dianne. I wish I could see the 'real' thing, not just the trailer, but I guess you need to visit the library and get the 3D goggles. I loved the way he compared the rows of books to a forest with rows of trees (books/paper/trees) and how the library melted into the forest at one point.
ReplyDeleteThank you, a treat on a horrible wet, blustery day in a lockdown.
