A virtual exploration of the great libraries of the world, inspired by Alberto Manguel's essay.
Step into a recreation of Manguel's own library. "The library in the morning suggests an echo of the severe and reasonably wishful order of the world, the library at night seems to rejoice in the world's essential, joyful muddle."
Exhibition at the Grande Bibliothèque (Bibliothèque et archives nationales du Québec) until August 28, 2016. (I'll review it when I see it, but sadly that may not be for a while.)
Fallout 4
Disclaimer: I've never played Fallout, but I've logged several hours watching other people play Fallout.
In the latest installment, players can return overdue library books, strewn about the wasteland, for valuable tokens.
"There's certainly no harm in including a library in an imagined dystopian future — if anything, it's a great reminder that overwhelming violence can destroy valuable culture and knowledge."
The Library
A short film about the romance of books.
"It still carries a magical feeling for me, this special kind of sanctuary full of knowledge, full of stories, all covered in a sense of quiet respect and revery." (via)
