Although it has been argued that many of these books may have ended up in the possession of Neleus of Scepsis, there has also been speculation that some of his books may have found their way into the contents of the Library of Alexandria. However, the destruction of that ancient library means that we will never know. There are three individual points of views in Rebecca Stead's latest collaboration with fellow author Wendy Mass. Three different perspectives that capture the mystery that surrounds the mysterious and missing Martinville Public Library and what it truly means to find your place in life - that I was able to find a little bit of myself in each of the characters was a welcoming feeling. 🥹 The charm of this story was that each respective POV was presented with a distinctive and heart-felt touch that emphasized how each character was linked to the Lost Library. I've been here for a year now, and I've started to make friends with the local townspeople. It sure feels great! And they're sending me gifts and secret family recipes in the mail, too! That's really helpful. But, perhaps the character that my heart gave out the most to was AL - AL - who was trapped in the recesses of the past - unwilling to move on from the tragedy that bound her to it's memory. 🥺 Those wistful moments of longing - that deep sense of connection of love for books - the appeal to give others a chance to know what it's like to have a good book in your hand - those little details that evoke that sentiment only a library can bring out in you.

Strong messages of family, friendship, kindness, empathy, courage, generosity, creative problem-solving -- and learning to be your true self. Also, books can change your life and open new worlds. Train at fishing and be persistent, and eventually you will catch these elusive fish. Make sure to respect the water and don't remove too many fish from the ecosystem. York, then known as Eboracum, was the place where Constantine I had first been declared Roman emperor. York itself later became an important place of learning in Europe during the eighth century because it was the home of the renowned scholar Alcuin and his library of manuscripts. The poet Francesco Petrarca, commonly known as Petrarch, built a collection of books from across Europe. It eventually became one of the largest libraries of its kind in the world during the 14th century. His plan was to ultimately give the library in its entirety to the city of Venice, which was to make this library available to the public.
