One of the great joys offered by an old library is stepping through the doors and being greeted by an overwhelming sense of stillness. Endless stories exist between the covers resting on the shelves but, until you crack open a title and start to read, it’s blissfully oh so quiet.
England’s Bristol Central Library is currently celebrating a milestone 400 years of service, and to mark the occasion the site is playfully disturbing the peace: for the next three months, visitors will be greeted by Book Hive, an interactive, animatronic installation that makes novels come to life.
