A Place to Read

Abstract

I think with nostalgia of the first library I knew. Queen Mary's House, the library of a school in Scotland, stands in its own small garden, adjoining the school grounds. It is hard to separate one's feelings for the books it houses from one's affection for the ancient grey building, the smell of lavender in the garden, the twisting stone stairs, and the lightness and quiet of its rooms.
