The Huntington Library, San Marino, California.Research in and around the environs of the Huntington Library is a delight to the scholar. Not only does the library have some of the most magnificent and rare books and manuscripts imaginable, but the grounds and the surrounding area—in both San Marino and Pasadena—have a great deal to offer the scholar.
That proves particularly true during times like this one, when the scholar is waiting for the lunch hour to end and for the rare books to be brought back in for viewing.
During such times, the Shakespeare scholar in particular may wish to stroll the grounds in search of some botanical references to Shakespeare:
"Cleopatra (Anthony)." Plant. Huntington Botanical Gardens, San Marino, California. Digital Image requested by Keith Jones.
Or the hungry Shakespeare scholar might venture into neighboring Pasadena for a delicious meal at a (sort of) Shakespeare-related establishment:

All of this can be done while the Shakespeare scholar stores bulky items in the perfect locker:

HA! I'm so glad you are having such a good time out there in LA. The research at the library sounds fascinating.
