About this episode

Originally Aired: September 4th, 2022 (Season 10, Episode 14)


Our story tonight is called The Librarian, and it’s a story about the quiet of the closed-up library at the end of the day. It’s also about the books that sometimes get overlooked on the top shelf, a string of lights over an outdoor table, and knowing what your next book will be.
