My family and I love to spend time at Lake Raleigh, located on Centennial Campus in the shadow of the gleaming new James B. Hunt Library, an architectural marvel! I know Lake Raleigh was highlighted the other day, but I wanted to let you know about another hidden gem: there’s a delightful garden tucked just behind the dam, tended by State students. They are sweet and patient and will answer a 5-year-old’s questions all day long! No one was there today (probably in class) so we stopped by to see bookBot in the Hunt Library, another little boy favorite! #hiddeninplainsight #raleigh #raleighnc #ncstate #huntlibrary #bookBot #centennialcampus #lakeraleigh [📷: @chhraleigh] / on Instagram instagram.com/p/6ncGJdDh3O/

One place I have to highlight today is located on State’s Centennial Campus. Whenever we have friends or family come visit I have a few must-see stops and the Hunt library is certainly one of them. Locals tend know all about it, but many have never stopped in and actually seen the BookBot in action. Whether you bleed Red or your own shade of Blue, this library is nothing short of unbelievable for anyone. Every time I walk in I find this inner peace that slowly generates creativity. Not to mention it is the perfect hideaway. They have my favorite egg-shaped-chairs (think Sleepless in Seattle) that you sink into. I’ll be the one curled up, reading a book quietly without any interruption :) PhotoBy @MrsKerriFowler #wishfulthinking #getcreative #huntlibrary #gopack / on Instagram instagram.com/p/0D4klkjh-B/
