Seth Lombardy<p>the library </p><p>finding new books inbetween coordinate shifts, challenges the librarians in some ways. the book may be from the old place or it may be the first script of the new home of the library. </p><p>it’s good when the library finds a home; at least a long stay. moving the library can be a good thing. the laborious or painful displacement is not always the case. </p><p>depending on what the library conditions are for a particular area, the librarians lodge and outfit as they know and as they learn.</p>
