The Great Library Tour
After undergrad, I craved adventure. So like a proper nerd I embarked on a library tour to begin collecting stories from some of the world's oldest 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. Support public libraries.
