00:06 It looks like a building, doesn't it?
00:09 It starts with stairs and ducking under painted faces and wooden walls grained like skin.
00:16 But look, an exchange.
00:20 This place is no building, it's the keeper of worlds.
00:25 Where thick beams creak under the weight of jungles and planets and recovery ships,
00:31 and we come together to share what we've found.
00:35 Peel back the layers of discovery and lose days, weeks to a single plot.
00:44 Where pages are splayed out for inspection and all of us are crooked net
00:49 and peeking into realities other than our own.
00:54 The voices of sirens, flower pressed in ink, call passing guests towards them
01:00 and the others watch and sing in leathered crescendo as kings and queens march armies into checkered fields.
01:12 And a spiral staircase opens its mouth to the top floor where there is light and there are people.
01:24 Welcome, they say, to Bromley House Library.
