Yet Leia couldn’t relax. She found herself thinking of her mother—the birth mother she hadn’t known, Padmé Amidala. After Leia had learned her mother’s identity years ago, she’d done what research she could to discover something more about the former queen and senator. She’d learned that her mother had been present at the vote that had given Palpatine ultimate power over the old Galactic Senate, and Leia could imagine the despair that must have been within her heart.
I like the way people stare at babies on the train bc once they make eye contact they start making funny faces and stuff and then the mother exchanges a glance and a smile with the stranger that’s my favorite thing
We have been the main research Library for the University of Oxford since 1602, and have grown to be a family of 30 institutions which cover every topic under the sun. We are one of the oldest libraries in Europe, a library of legal deposit and the second biggest library in the UK (only beaten by the British Library in London, but we’re not bitter).
We are on Tumblr to share with you our beautiful buildings, our history and our world renowned collections. We also want to bring to you exciting new research, behind-the-scenes views and a taste of what working and studying in the Bodleian Libraries is like.
We are here to chat, to share and to learn with you, so please say hello!
(and yes, we will soon do a post about Harry Potter locations in the libraries)
