“Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card.” Marc Brown (from Arthur).

In 2016, I journeyed on a library tour across Western Europe and began collecting stories from some of the world's greatest story houses. I started with a secret library in The Hague and ended at the world’s largest monastery library in Austria. Now, everywhere I go, I try to visit a local library and immerse myself in its stories for a little while.
