Hidden libraries : the world's most unusual book depositories / DC Helmuth ; foreword by Nancy Pearl.
Explore 50 of the most unique libraries located in unknown spaces across the world in this beautiful book for travel-loving bibliophiles. From China's lonely library on a secluded beach to a roving military tank filled with 900 novels in Buenos Aires, this inspirational guide celebrates the great lengths humans will go to assure access to books. Discover a library on four legs with the Camel Mobile Library Service in Kenya; book swap your latest read in a cool 1950s style fridge in New Zealand; or hike through the ethereal woodlands of Eas Mor in Scotland where a hidden library in a small log cabin awaits. Each entry in this exquisite collection of must-visit athenaeums describes the library's purpose and its impact on the local community. Nothing brings people together quite like a good book.
