~ 2nd time Melbourne (Pt.4) ~

apart from attending the training and the conference sessions, the organizer ada masukkn activity melawat libraries nearby. the libraries we went to - Queen's College library, Ormond College library, and Trinity College library.

 

we took the tram from the conference venue to the nearest stop not far from Queen's College (can't remember the name of the stop). from there, we walked to our first library, Queen's College.

there's a section at Queen's yg simpan the collection of one paderi ternama... which I can't recall the name (i can't recall most of the information mentioned during the visit cz i was too busy mengambik gmbr, hahahaha). it's a Special Collection room yg smpn mcm2 buku2 lma & also some artifacts. in fact ada items in this room dibungkus dgn plastic.

 

~ see those items in the plastic wrap? ~

 

the Special Collection room is quite small actually. but with control temperature, xde lah rs cm sesak nafas masuk beramai2 skaligus.

 

~ still managed to squeeze for picture =) ~

 

next, we walked to the next library at Ormond College. some info of the college - it's to cater for students from a specific sect (can't recall whether it's for Catholic or Protestant). dan tu jelah fact yg I tau, hahahaha... d rest, blur cz sibuk amik gmbr (sgt kagum dpt tgk tmpt cntk. so, telinga xleh lk nk sync together dgn mata). ok, ok... ada fact yg I tau... they separated some collection from the library sbbnye kna banjir haritu...so I did pay attention, hehehe.

Ormond College's library xde la canggih sgt in terms of the library technology. tp dia punya interior, dahsyattt!!! cntk & very comfy. mmg sesuai environment cmni nk bg org study dgn aman. and ada pulak tu kerusi dia bkn made from wood. it's actually kerusi yg made from getah, so bila duduk rs alahai cmfrtable sgt, hahaha. mmg rs xnk bgn la, boleh study lma2 kt library =)

next, the librarian in-charged brought us to the next building yg ada area buku2 rosak cz kna banjir tu. and in this next building la ada tempat2 yg ala2 cm studio to shoot classical movie. ada bilik tu cm dining hall kt Hogwarts! and the hall mcm castle dlm citer Merlin. haaa... now u understand la knp I xdpt nk dgr explanation, kn? ngehehehehe...
