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 science-related or not. Each of these rich narratives are important memoirs, sharing some aspect of life experiences and sometimes in a fun way.
