Ever since I was little, I dreamed of having my own closet library to hide in while reading about magical tollbooths and young wizards. Now that I’m an adult, I realize I don’t need anyone’s permission to create my own little reading haven. In fact, it seems anywhere there’s open space is fair game, and some of these small space libraries seem like the most perfect places there are.
If you’re lucky enough to have an under-the-stairs-style closet like the Dursleys, instead of blocking it off and shoving your magical nephew in it, break down those walls and create this amazing closet library and reading space.
