This year I get to spend time in both and I thought I would take some time to visit or actually revisit three libraries.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnf.fr\/en\/tools\/a.welcome_to_the_bnf.html\">Biblioteque Nationale de France<\/a> which has several locations in Paris. When I was in graduate school I actually did get to go and do research at the Fran\u00e7ois-Mitterrand Library. There are a couple of interesting looking exhibits going on there and I would like to get over there again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When I am in London I hope to stop by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bl.uk\/\">British Library<\/a> and go in the gift shop and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bl.uk\/whatson\/exhibitions\/picturethis\/index.html\">children&#8217;s literature<\/a>\u00a0 exhibit but maybe check out some of the other exhibits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Finally in early January I am helping to run a program for children at <a href=\"https:\/\/americanlibraryinparis.org\/\">The American Library in Paris<\/a> where my Mom is a volunteer and since I am a librarian I get to run the program. I am super-excited but a little concerned because children\u2019s programming isn\u2019t something that I do in my every day life. \u00a0This is also the library I grew up visiting so I am excited to go back as a grown up and give something back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Gabrielle Spiers, Head Editor, INALJ Montana London &amp; Paris: 3 Libraries I Plan on Visiting This Holiday Season My parents live near Paris, France and my brother lives in London which means that I usually get to spend Christmas and New Year in one of those cities.
