There's no doubt that the National Library is profound. Its apparently ninety-nine roofs, which I didn't count, are said to reflect the qeleshe (or plis) hats worn by ethnic Albanians. I enjoyed walking around the fittings and furnishings from yesteryear which took me right back to my desks at school. Glancing at the building from the top of the Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa on the other side of the busy George Bush highway dividing them is also worthwhile. You can reconnoitre the perimeter of the library along its paved pathways without any obstacles. That said, getting a view of it from a height up close is practically impossible without a drone. On my couple of visits there one of the caretakers opened up various rooms, whilst people were setting up for an event that evening. The library is open seven days a week but if you ask nicely he'll give you access to some other parts the building. Within its confines is also an American Corner, set up by the US Embassy. It is aimed at improving relations between the two countries and was opened in 2003. There you can find numerous publications focused mainly on English language learning and a section dedicated to great American authors. #architecture #library #kosovo #gallery #free #familyfriendly #kidslearning
