The Library

by Bella Osborne

Books provided a secret door to escape through – something she had often been grateful for in her life.

Reading was her other escape. Another world she could step into and be surrounded by characters brought to life on the page. She could meet untold people and live a thousand exciting lives through the pages.

There was something oddly isolating about being surrounded by people and yet completely alone.

Every book is a key that unlocks another world, leads us down the path of a different life and offers the chance to explore an unexpected adventure. Every one is a gift of either knowledge, entertainment or pure escapism and goodness knows we all need that from time to time.
