I was walking through the bookstacks in the library, and I just happened to walk past the Edinburgh section!
I'm moving there in September!!!!!!!!!

The New Bodleian Library
This Grade II Listed building was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in the 1930's, and its architecture is vague - part classical, part modernist, part Arts and Crafts, part prison block.
It is generally agreed that the building is not among Scott's most successful designs. Nikolaus Pevsner dismisses it as "Neither one thing nor the other".
The Rockefeller Foundation donated 60% of the £1 million cost for the new library building. It included administrative and reading rooms, together with an 11-storey bookstack beneath the building. This was connected underground with the original Bodleian Library by an conveyor belt system for books. It is still possible to walk underground between the Radcliffe Camera and the new library building.
The Weston Library
In the early 21st century, the building was rebuilt internally behind its original façade to provide improved storage facilities for rare and fragile material, as well as better facilities for readers and visitors.
It re-opened to readers as the Weston Library on the 21st. March 2015. Richard Ovenden (Bodley's Librarian) awarded the Bodley Medal to Professor Stephen Hawking and to Sir David Attenborough as part of the official opening ceremony.
The transformed library has been generally well-received, being described as a "Hey presto moment for the city" by The Independent newspaper.
"Collection Interface Zone" display units and wide aisles draw patrons into the bookstacks and encourage them to engage the collections.

This was one of my all-time favorite toys--and yes, I'm fully aware that this is the Burger King kid's meal toy from 1991. When I was in 8th grade.
What you don't know is that I wanted this toy so badly, and didn't have it, and finally purchased it my senior year of college.
I thought it was fun to use the bookstacks from the Librarian Action Figure deluxe set to stand him on. After all, the Beast has one killer library.
