"In large libraries and other places where large numbers of books are
stored together the sheer weight of gathered knowledge bends time
and space around itself in complex and eye watering patterns.
This warping can in extreme cases result in wormholes leading
to other libraries or even the same library in a different
time or dimension.
"This is why most second hand book shops are bigger inside
than on the outside. Take the Barbican Bookshop in York,
for instance. Small shop on the outside, vast labrynth
of bookshelves on the inside."
