Made by a librarian who wanted the shelf to feel like a window
Maggie Hollis, 58. Thirty-one years as a school librarian, a voice that read to hundreds of children a day, and then a very quiet house. When the last bell rang, nobody told her what to do with her hands. So she built a tiny arched window that glows between the books, and after five tries and a lot of candles, she got it right.
“My voice read to four hundred children a day. Now the only one who listens is a black cat.”— Maggie Hollis, Portland, Maine
