Dear Fellow Journalers,
Have you ever dreamt of spending the night in a library? Turns out that the Gladstone Library in Northern Wales, UK is your “Dream come true”. This library, which doubles as a bed and breakfast is 130 years old. There are 36 rooms and each comes with its own collection of books. Guests can stay at the library for one night or months at a time! The library offers many workshops such as the “Writer’s in Residence” and “Writing Animals” all open to anyone at any skill level. Authors share tips and tricks of the trade during a program called “Hearth” which is offered in either November or February each year.
The food offerings vary from locally sourced food to afternoon tea to a traditional Celtic lunch on Sunday.
So, if you’re of a mind and you’re traveling overseas, check out (no pun intended!) The Gladstone Library.
