Libraries are magical places. In this episode we celebrate the work, time, effort, and love that it takes to keep them magical.

Check out some of my favorite libraries:

Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library: Check out the wild architecture of this place--an enormous glass-encased tower of rare books and manuscripts (including the Voynich Manuscript), housed in an exoskeleton of translucent marble.

The library where I grew up--Southington Public.

The library where I had the best job ever (and where I still go to work and write)--Landmark College Library.

My current library--Putney Public.

And of course the magical library that starts off this episode--the Williston Library at Mount Holyoke College.
