Post five: area 2 roman public libraries.

This week i worked on area two findind similarities between roman libraries to libraries in america, australia and britian. The main resourch i used was the search engine google. I wasn't sure where i would find similaries between the roman and other public libraries so i decided to strat off with appearance going into google and finding the top public libraries in all countries the three main libraries i found were the newyork public librarie in america, the british librarie in london and the state library of victoria in australia from there i borowsed throught google to find pictures of each library and also looked at the pictures of roman public libraries I had gained from area one research then noted how each librarie building had a special dome shaped reading room and all tables and desks in these reading rooms were made of wood also with the american roman libraries each had thier desks postioned horizontally in rows. I have posted the pictures of the libraries in the side of the blog so everyone can see the similarities i was talking about.

After i had finished with collecting information for area two i'm going to strat looking at area three reviewing my information i had gained in area two and one this will be in my next journal post.
