A new library card to add to my collection! This is from a Postcrosser here in the United States, who noted I collect library postcards. The postcard has a vintage feel to it and specifically shows the reading room in the Bibliothèque Nationale, which was built in 1862 by Henri Labrouste. According to the card it has nine domes, each with an "eye" providing natural light from above. The roof is supported by twelve slender iron columns.
And a quote on the back:
"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library,"
--Jorge Luis Borges
