There was a book store there in an old clapboard church. No pews, no altar, just bookshelves and a fireplace and some leather club chairs. Even the choir loft was full of books. That's my fantasy library, and the world would probably be a better place if most churches followed suit. And further, not sure if you know of it, but Alain Renais made a documentary in the 50s about the national library in Paris. The doc is called Toute la mémoire du monde. I've never seen it, don't know where to find a copy, but ask Paul about it. He's the one who brought it to my attention.
