Libraries
I like libraries. I have spent many many hours of my life in them, enjoying them, following rabbit trails and exploring their riches. I visit libraries. I work in libraries. I write about libraries.
Yeah, so. Libraries. Maybe i’ll run into you in one someday.

The Basic Guide to Libraries
Libraries aren’t just a fun curiousity for me, they are a place of work. For good or ill, libraries and the librarians who run them are places and people who’ve made or broken areas of research i’ve embarked upon! I’ve shared some of my Basics Guides elsewhere, but there are a few that are specifically library related!

Home Libraries
I’m also fascinated by home libraries, those of great authors and those of people like me, who just love being able to read their books in a lovely environment at home! I’m also living a little vicariously until I have a chance to make a home with a library!
