About the Book

Explore 50 of the most unique libraries located in unknown spaces across the world in this beautiful book for travel-loving bibliophiles. From China's lonely library on a secluded beach to a roving military tank filled with 900 novels in Buenos Aires, this inspirational guide celebrates the great lengths humans will go to to assure access to books.

Discover a library on four legs with the Camel Mobile Library Service in Kenya; book swap your latest read in a cool 1950s style fridge in New Zealand; or hike through the ethereal woodlands of Eas Mor in Scotland where a hidden library in a small log cabin awaits. Each entry in this exquisite collection of must-visit athenaeums describes the library's purpose and its impact on the local community. Nothing brings people together quite like a good book.

Inside Hidden Libraries:

  • 50 enchanting, obscure and astounding libraries from around the world - some stationary, some mobile, some floating in mid-air
  • Fascinating insider knowledge and unique stories from each library's resident caretaker
  • Captivating photos accompany every entry and the exact location of each hidden library will also be revealed
  • Contents include: The Weapon of Mass Instruction Library, aka the War Tank (Argentina); The Black Sea Beach Library (Bulgaria); The Francis Trigge Chained Library (England); The Beer Crate Library (Germany); Hammock Library for the Deaf (Malawi); Horse-and-Donkey Library (Ethiopia); Stony Island Arts Bank (USA); The Library with No Rules - aka 'Reading Club 2000' (Philippines); Didier Muller's Libraire Urbaine (New Zealand)
  • Written by Diana Helmuth, author of The Witching Year: A Memoir of Earnest Fumbling Through Modern Witchcraft; How to Suffer Outside: A Beginner's Guide to Hiking and Backpacking; and winner of a 2022 National Outdoor Book Award. Diana is also the co-author of the "50 Places" travel series with Chris Santella: "50 Places to Practice Yoga Before You Die" and "50 Places to Travel with Your Dog Before You Die"
