An old and weary Librarian who has worked in his job for a very long time has a closer connection to the library and the books within than he realises. Whilst going about his daily business, the Librarians attention is drawn to one book in particular. He settles in his great armchair to read the story contained within its pages but falls asleep before he can finish.  In his dreams the book comes to life... but is it a dream?

Whilst going about his daily business in the library, the Librarians attention is drawn to one book in particular. Whilst reading it, although he is engrossed with the story, he grows weary due to his old age and falls asleep in his great armchair. It is at this point that the story really comes to life…

We follow the Librarian, an old man who has forgotten the joy of stories. Although he holds the title of librarian he does not treat his books with respect, he is tired of life and tired of his job, what do a few old dusty books matter to him? Whilst you or I may know that the beauty and wonder of a story is not to be overlooked, our librarian has failed to remember this in his despicable mood. The question is will he change his mind on the matter?

We follow the Librarian, a man warped and twisted from the severe pain he experiences when he loses his beloved father to old age.  His personality is not what you would typically expect from a person who is supposed to be a lover of books, for this melancholic character despises stories, especially those with a happy ending. Having grown up loving the old fairy tales his father used to read him from the books in their library, he undergoes an extreme reversal of feelings towards them after his father is gone as they painfully remind him of what he has lost. With his emotions causing havoc, these fairy tales become menacing, in his mind a happily ever after is a thing of fiction; inheriting the library that he once loved feels like a graveyard of painful reminders of what he has lost, and our Librarian is sure those horrid books and stories are out to get him. Our Librarian is set on a journey that will confront his grief through the fiction that haunts him, and as his audience we will hear his very own story, just don’t expect a happily ever after. So come, sit close and listen to the tale of the Librarian.

The Librarians personality is not what you would typically expect from a person who is supposed to be a lover of books, for this melancholic character despises stories, especially those with a happy ending. The death of Librarian senior brought on the demise of his love for stories, those happy memories of being read his favourite fairy tales once upon a time only remind him of the loss of his beloved father. Inheriting the library that he once loved feels like a graveyard of painful reminders of what he has lost, and our Librarian is sure those horrid books and stories are out to get him. So please, don’t expect a happily ever after as we observe the grief stricken mind of the Librarian.
