“Uh hi, I’m looking for a book on sharks, by, uh, B L a’Haj”

The librarian smiled, “do you know what country it was published in, was it Canada?”

“Australia, i-I think” the visitor stammered, hefting their backpack and looking about.

The librarian interacted with their console. “Ah yes, here it is. It’s in our archival collection, quite a way back in the shelves.” The console spat out a card. Here is a map to the shelf location.

Book lovers know that if you go deep enough into the stacks of a good library you could end up anywhere. The corridors of L-space join all libraries everywhere, every when.

In the State Library of South Australia, a door opened an a teenager with a backpack emerged. “Hello”, a librarian
smiled. “did you find your book?”

“Uh yes!”, they held up a tome.

“Good, good. It will tell you everything you need to know, welcome to Adelaide!”
