I've been a library assistant for a decade now, working in a library that is a converted manor house and has been in existence since 1894. The owner left it to the town in his will specifically to be used as a library (we have a framed copy of his will) and he also left several thousand dollars to purchase books. I sometimes wonder what this man would think of how the library - and technology - has changed since 1894!

That's the greatest thing I've heard of in a long time. I would love to see that place ❤.

Love your videos bro.❤️. About 6 months ago, I suffered crippling panic attacks, feeling like I was going to faint every day, but you've changed my life. ❤️❤️ And now today, if life seems dull, I ALWAYS look forward and have a purpose going to sleep.. I just need that closure.❤️. I hope you, Timmy and Rebecca are living your absolute best lives!💪 ❤️

Same. He has the gift to heal with his voice and words. He's helped me so much with anxiety and PTSD.

I would like just truly express my gratitude for the story you shared tonight. My mother, who passed away in 2022, was my best friend. Growing up, we used to spend time together every weekend visiting Barnes and Noble or our local city library. She would immerse herself in the mystery and crime fiction section, while I would lose myself in the teen fiction section for hours until it was time for dinner. Those were wonderful times before she fell ill with ovarian cancer and underwent chemotherapy. Your story reminded me of those special moments, and I thank you so much for that. I miss my mom terribly, and I hope she visits me in my dreams tonight and joins me in this library you created for us! #cancersucks ❤❤❤

I spend up to 3 hours in ny local library just enjoying the quiet to r ead and the chance to people watch. I've been going there for over 30 years so everyone knows me. It's such a blessing to me throughout times of trouble in my life. I'd live there if it were possible.

a story about the lost library of alexandria would be absolutely incredible!!! 🙏🏻

Oh wow! I'm actually a Librarian so this will be lovely to listen to! Thank you ❤ (I really love old libraries. Ones where you need ladders or slidable shelf ladders is a bonus!).

Thank you, Stephen. Thank you for grounding me, for helping me to let go for a bit from the pain of loss, for the feeling of being safe. For making my cats purr (yes, they are listening too ❤️🙂). And to answer your thought…. my favourite library was a small bookshelf in my great grandmother’s kitchen. There was a wood stove, it was warm and cozy in winter, her apron was big and soft and she held me and quietly read from one of the books that were in that shelf especially for me. I was maybe 4 or 5 years old and still remember the kettle that was quietly humming, the calming sounds of the fire and her heartbeat. It was magical. ❤️ Much love from Nova Scotia, Canada

When I was little, I imagined heaven having/being a huge beautiful crystalline library with every story of everyone's lives plus all the stories ever written ❤

I started listening to a different story nearly every night for quite a few months now. One of the best parts about them is the differing guided relaxation in the start. Definitely helps keep my neurospicy brain engaged enough to stop/reduce the anxious thoughts so I can let them just flow (something that I've done for years that is the most effective) that has become a lot easier or completely crash before I even think I get past this part thanks to these stories. I don't think I have ever had so many consecutive nights where I have fallen asleep so fast in as long as I can remember.

I really loved in your old stories when you would include various types of guided breathing exercises at the beginning.

I fall asleep so much better and less panic attacks since I started listening to your kind stories!!! I'm very thankful for the reminder of being safe. Thank you dear friend

Thank you. I had a dream once that the books talked. Not like audiobooks. More like you literally was in the book. It was a nice dream. Thank you for sharing. Hope I have another.❤

Thank you for this lovely story. Still haven’t heard it all several times I wake up and replay but always fall asleep before it finishes! Thank you 🙏 for the exercises before and for your soothing voice. Since I lost my daughter and am trying to raise my teenage troubled grandson your beautiful stories bring me sleep and peace at night. Love from California to you, Rebecca and Timmy!❤❤❤

Sleep well everyone ❤

❤❤❤ thank you Stephen ! I am looking forward to listening to this. Had horrendous thoughts in my brain and seen both the police and ambulance service today, so to be able to settle into my regular routine and get all curled up with Rufus (my beautiful assistance dog) and my my duvet and just fall asleep and start a new day ❤❤❤

love libraries so I know I will like this

Me too.

I love when my library has its annual book sale. It gives me the opportunity to pick up books so reasonably priced. And I love the scent of bookstores. Tonight's story was charming. And easy to imagine and fall asleep to.

The Enchanted Elvin Library is the best sleep story yet. Please make more like this one and make it longer.

Your channel is growing so fast, and richly deserved. I’m so happy for your success!

As someone who also used to go to sleep with a comfort show due to needing soft visuals as well as the comforting audio, the artwork is also a big help ❤

I’m so excited I found your channel. I can’t remember the last time I fell asleep before the end of a story and I did the last 2 nights listening to you.

Soy la primera 😊 Eres maravilloso Stefhen! Buenas noches a todos el mundo desde Barcelona, España 🙋🏼‍♀️

LOVE LOVE LOVE stories about Elves

Thanks Stephen for all your wounded stories from Zara

Like all the other sleep videos, I am repeating myself.❤❤❤❤❤.love libraries and nature .

Ooh can’t wait for this one tonight. 👏👏

The Enchanted Elvin Library is a real gem!

Thank you so much for your kindness. It is very much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very relaxing. I kept falling to sleep and ended up listening to it during the day so I could hear it all ❤. When I was a little girl our library was a mobile one which would drive around the streets and the children and adults would rush out when they heard it 😂 I was always looking for old stories, folk tales, myths from different countries

Loved the promo with Timmy 😄

Thank you for your relaxing stories!!!

I catch myself listening to this story and the first one about your home to own I was think this is just one of your best stories , you did the part so well I was amazed I wish you did more like this one maybe at part 2 I’m in love with books and how you do the voices they are so real and taught me so much about past famous ppl I never knew about it was made w so much love and passion I can’t stop listening to this one ❤

I’m just in love with all of your sleep stories especially your wanderings of an Irish man. I’m going to love this too I love the title much appreciation Stephen Timmy and Rebecca!😀😘

Last night I listened to this story, but fell asleep. So maybe I find out how the story ends. I love libraries and books. Good night. 💤

Love libraries and love books so much...i am trying to get a job in a library❤ thanks for your story

Beautiful Thankyou Stephen wishing all a lovely Sunday. 🥰🥰🥰

These story's really help me relax and fall asleep before I start my nightshift. Problem is its rare I get passed the relaxation part. 😂

Thank you and Good Night 🥰

Thank you is not enough for the beauty and peace you bring me. You are a true blessing 💜🙏🏻

Dear Stephen, I have listened to your sleep stories almost every night for the last 8 or 9 months… forgive me, I lose track of time these days. Your voice is so calming and sincere. You mesmerize me , even in the relaxation session! I have rarely managed to listen to a whole story, actually, sometimes most of the story! So, I have to listen to each one 2 or 3 times! However, this one about the Elven Library, has defeated me!!! I have listened to it 7 times in a row and I still haven’t heard the story!! I am fast asleep by the time we reach the castle! So, guess what? I will be trying again tonight! I love the way you begin every night with, “Hello my friend “. I am instantly relaxed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your genuine, caring soul. If I could stay awake, I too would like more library stories, perhaps about the one in Timbuktu. You are so loved by so many. ❤

Love your story. Have you ever been to Birmingham Library. I'm a kiwi who visited uk and people we meet said if you ever get to Birmingham you will have to visit. Totally highly recommend. Love your stories

Thank you x

You want to come and see Liverpool library beautiful ❤

Thank you ❤

I like your videos ....i struggled to sleep due to pregnancy complications but your videos have been a great relieve

Love your stories. ❤

superb

I like most libraries. In Copenhagen I like the Black Diamond (Den Sorte Diamant), the Royal library (Det Kongelige bibliotek) 📕 📚 📖 and other wonderful libraries around the world

Oh my... late back from work tonight... crazy week. Not had chance to pass your message on yet 🙈 Need this story tonight... shattered.😅

Love you!

I wake up during the night - and struggle to go back to sleep - wonder if you could have a story for that. Thx. Great stories. I love the old stories - the old library in Quebec City

GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Really a good one!❤

Just qant to say LOVED IT😊

Hi Stephen. I've been listening to this one for the past few nights and I would love to know what is special about books made by elves. However that's the only line I remember. From someone who would sometimes take up to 2 hours to fall asleep, this is wonderful. I would love to know but way more happy to be able to fall asleep. Once again, many, many thanks😁

Thanks

A desert story would be great. I like it 😊

You asked for suggestions for libraries. I have one, though it doesn’t have the kind of depth and imagination of this story. If you watch a video about it you will see that it has incredible rooms and spaces and it’s absolutely beautiful. On the top floor is Rose Reading Room, a magnificent big space with a very high ceiling that is beautifully furnished, with wonderful paintings on the ceiling. It’s very special, a kind of building that they don’t make any more.

Ya just can't NOT love this way to relax and fall asleep. I mean, c’mon. No drugs involved! (well maybe a gummy….🤭)

Bring back Mr slumber! ❤

Please fix the spelling of Enchanted in the title. Thanks so much! Love your channel!

Awesome, a new story I won't be able to listen to fully 😅

May peaceful dreams embrace you all! Let the strains of the day gently slip away... 😴💤

Does anyone hear a clicking sound when listening to the stories? I have been listening for a few months. Now I have heard it on two different stories. I have turned my iPhone off and back on. If you know of a way to fix it let me know. Love the stories, relaxing and calming. Thanks Stephen

✅Like and share! 👍🏼☀️✨

Welcome to Magdalyne's Blyss Holistic Healing Center Global. You're part of my network now. ❤

Hi, why not add a library to your little village you are building ,with the little old lady from the bookshop looking for a book to go on holiday or the farmer from sleep farm looking a book on dwarf goats for his farm..the lady from the candy store looking for a book on new recipes etc ..etc...just and idea you might be interested in doing in your own unique way you have with words. Xx

Before The Pandemic of 2020-23. l volunteered to reshelf dvds and vhs recordings. I knew the staff well and had become friendly with them. But I had arthritis and about to have the deeper cause of my pain diagnosed, whencovid 19 hit and the hospital closed its radiology dept. while learning how to cope with the pandemic. Then the hospitsl was overwhelmed with covid patients. By the time l was diagnosed I 22:03 had lost a great deal of muscle mass and become disabled.

Who is Wilby though ?

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

oh how wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL !!!!!!! 🥹🥹 elves and magical beings and magical books ????? it’s like a *dream* - thank you! ❤❤

What is the clicking sounds . Is it meant to be a crackling fire ? Sounds too spooky for me - long time fan here but this sounds new and I’m not keen 🫣

Beautiful story as always, Stephen 🩷 There’s just something otherwordly about libraries, especially the old ones full of books that are hundreds of years old. Also, I have a bit of a silly idea for a future sleep story: a story about a friendly robot, whose biggest wish is to experience dreaming, so it goes on a quest to learn how, and throughout its journey it talks to many different creatures to try to discover the secrets of dreams.

Thank you again Stephen! I’d like another walk through Transylvania to visit beekeeper or similar characters! (No bakers or food producers, they make me get up to search for food😂) And I absolutely adore all the Healing tribes! Love your work!
