People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.
- Saul Bellow -
The town I live in now has a very small library, almost to the point of not having enough niches to hide in with a good book, but I still find sanctuary there. My hometown had two large libraries: the university library and the public library. My favorite was the university library, because there were several floors and lots of lost spaces where I could lose myself and the day.
One of my favorite things was to walk down the aisles of books, all numbered and stacked, on display and ready for my consumption. There was something magical about it--a place where other worlds collided, the ultimate spark of imagination.
