Celebrating #NationalLibraryWeek & honoring all librarians in this brave new world of having to defend the right to read. Thomas Hughes Free Public Library pic is from yesterday's visit to Rugby, TN. The #library opened in 1882 with over 5000 donated books. The utopian community didn't succeed, but the library & 7000 books remain for visitors to peruse & appreciate. A few views to add to one from @plemmdog #litsylibrarians #litsylibrarian

Spending the weekend in the failed utopia that Thomas Hughes attempted to create in rural Rugby, Tennessee. This is the original library. In 1880, Hughes was the most popular writer, after Dickens.
