Libraries by night: Like lighthouses in troubled water

As the pandemic still rage and the year 2020 is coming to an end, libraries still stand as lighthouses of community, learning and cultural activity. To salute this (and try to avoid lockdown madness) I decided to sneak out into the night over 12 days in December like a library ninja to capture libraries by night time to spread some light and joy. It was a special and wonderful experience to visit different public and academic libraries around Copenhagen after dark to see them stand steadfast and reminding us, that libraries are not closed during the pandemic – they are just different.

In this post I share some of the photos – more can be seen at my Instagram profile: libarylovestories
