Featuring a library or bookstore
2. Featuring a library or bookstore

What’s as good as visiting a library or a bookstore for ourselves? Reading about them, of course! This prompt is all about libraries and bookstores. Examples could include: a book where the main character is a librarian or sells books, a memoir by a librarian, a non-fiction book about the Library of Alexandria, a children’s story about the library, etc. Anything library or bookstore related works for this prompt!
