Another night in the back room, the dim light revealing the thin dust trails I’ve mapped for weeks, I record a new entry in my ledger of hidden cravings, feeling the familiar ache of unread spines. I recommend a dozen volumes to a quiet patron, knowing my card will likely slip through my fingers again, but the promise of a perfect match still keeps me turning pages. The air is heavy with the scent of old paper and the soft hush of readers’ whispered thoughts, a reminder that I both nurture and guard this space. I note the dust pattern in the corner where the light fades, a map of the quiet hours that keep me honest with myself. #silentreading 📚
