Abstract Libraries, museums and cultural institutions have many interesting and historic stories to tell, especially stemming from their geographic locations. As librarians, we are fortunate to be surrounded by a wealth of information and archival history, from research labs to fishing villages, whether sciencerelated or not. Each of these rich narratives are important memoirs, sharing some aspect of life experiences and sometimes in a fun way.
