@@bethhollins3556 Bringing out memories, as mentioned by the OP. Fighting dementia, and rehabilitation in neurodegenerative diseases. Sensory integration treatment, exposure therapy and as a relaxation technique for those with acute stress (eg. trauma therapy) or serious emotional dysfunction. Coma patients treatment, maybe even waking them up - we still don't really understand coma, and specific neuro-sensory stimulation may well be the key to breaking it. Research. Research in neuro-sensory stimulation, how precise it can be and what effect specific smells can have on human brain and body. Before you say none, or something about aromatherapy being only psychological (which doesn't invalidate it), just remember smelling salts. Education, both in museums and schools; showing children what Middle Ages smelled like, for example. Particularly as a component of a larger installation depicting those times. Education for tolerance and creating an immediate connection with people far away from you; showing ten year olds in London what a Delhi ten year old's life smells and looks like, while also letting them speak with one via a skype-like program, for example. Expanded sensory education for those with one or more senses impared: what does "green" smell like? In similar vein, emotional education for those on the autism spectrum: what does "joy" smell like? It may sound abstract to you, but sense of smell has been proven to have a very strong ability to both bring specific memories and evoke emotions. It has an illustrative and explantatory power beyond direct connections, too. As a part of an art installation, theatre or dance performance. As a component in movies, gaming, and VR. A fancy twist at a fancy fashion show, or some other vip gathering. But also as a sudden awareness hit for political, humanitarian or enviormental activism, particularly imparted on political spaces (such as parliment during a sitting) and in general public, preferably crowded, space. Do you know what it smells like when they bomb your city? I bet US voters wouldn't be so keen to go to war if they did. Or what it smells like when a drone hits during a wedding, as they do. Or what Earth will smell like 30 years from now, those 2 degrees hotter. Or what it smells like right now in a refugee camp in Greece, or in Syria. It's much harder to ignore otheer people's suffering once you get to actually feel it. And smell has an immersive power unparalelled with any other human sense. Is this wide enough for you? Edited to get rid of the double space, it's annoying.

Adventure Awaits Hmm, maybe. But what's "productive" about being in a library? Isn't it hard to communicate?

I'm a registered librarian and watching this makes me so happy, and so satisfying that people slowly appreciate libraries and throw away stereotypes about our professions and on us.

I went to the Trinity Library when I was in Ireland a couple years ago, and it's as beautiful in person, and you can smell the leather even from outside the hall

I absolutely love libraries. The architecture, the vibe they have, the sight of the books on multiple shelves, and the easy access to so much information and stories. They’re just so great to look at and be in.

Imagine using scratch and smells in books. In Harry Potter, we could smell the Christmas feast, Madame Rosmerta's butterbeer, or sticky toffee pudding from the Leaky Cauldron. Fresh-baked crackling bread in To Kill a Mockingbird. Minny's fried chicken or chocolate pie in The Help. Or ambiance smells like the Mad Hatter's tea party in Alice in Wonderland, cozy Mr. Tumnus' house in Chronicles of Narnia, or Honeydukes wizard sweet shop in Harry Potter. Would be magical...

I know what you mean, it sort of ruins the purpose. There was an exception when I went to the Art Institute in Chicago, the library in there wasn't too crowded when I saw it (probably because it isn't well-known) I've been going to that museum for years and only recently saw the library. The funny thing is that it isn't intentionally well-hidden or inaccessible, it's just really easy to overlook.

The Seattle Central Library is one of my personal favorite libraries. With its bizarre 11-story layout that almost looks like it's held up by magic, its modern art displays (including a disorienting hallway that's completely painted red), and the way it combines its traditional collection of books with more modern computer labs and the like, it's truly one of a kind.

Wow.. So beautiful libraries.

In June I spent three weeks in Dublin with other fourteen boys and girls from my school, on a project made by the EU. We were divided in groups of two or three people and local families host us. There were also two teachers from my school in Italy (they teach Italian and Latin) and with them one day we visited the Trinity College library. I think I had never seen someone as amazed as them when we stepped into the Longroom!
