<p>You have certainly all heard of Greenwich in London United Kingdom. Usually in the context of the zero meridian or the time zones. Some of you may already remember my photos from the Greenwich Promenade in my home district Berlin-Tegel. Both districts are twinned (but I didn’t find any mention of my district over there…). But only a few have actually visited Greenwich – it’s not really on the list of things to do on a weekend trip to London.<br />

<p>Statue (of Shakespeare??) on the facade of the Bodleian Library, Broad Street, Oxford, England. The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford. Founded in 1602 by Sir Thomas Bodley, it is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. With over 13 million printed items, it is the second-largest library in Britain after the British Library. Under the Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003, it is one of six legal deposit libraries for works published in the United Kingdom, and under Irish law it is entitled to request a copy of each book published in the Republic of Ireland. Known to Oxford scholars as &quot;Bodley&quot; or &quot;The Bod&quot;, it operates principally as a reference library and, in general, documents may not be removed from the reading rooms.</p>
