Churchify!  — 2 years ago

The boy suggests that we buy a decommissioned church to store all our books. Apparently, they’re pretty cheap because no one knows what to do with them. Definitely a neat idea, though we’ll have to check whether it’s a safe enviroment for books. It should be, but maybe it would be too humid? Not sure.

Ephemeral Library  — 3 years ago

Basically, I need a place to store all my books. Currently, most of them are sitting in my parents’ house, but they had a flood recently and I don’t trust them to take proper care of them. Plus, it feels so pointless to have them sitting in boxes, where even I can’t be bothered to find the one I want. But I also don’t see myself settling down and buying my own house any time soon.

Hence, the library idea. I’d like to buy a house or storefront or old barn or something and fill it with my present and future book collection. I have some weird/rare books, it’s a very idiosynchratic collection, and this way everyone who was interested could enjoy it. I think this is something I could probably get a grant for, and I’d want to hire someone to take care of the collection while I travel.

I’d also like not to feel guilty every time I acquire another book.
