The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries
“Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.” -Ray Bradbury

About me
Hi, I'm Emily. I'm 20, in school and like pretty much everything and everyone. Dancing, playing, sunshine, friends, ice cream, cupcakes, science, interesting things. I am insatiably curious and too nosy for the most innocent reasons. I am permanently 4 years old, have been for 5 years now, thinking like a kid is way cooler than my grown up logic.
