For more than 20 years, Jeff Lee, 60 and Ann Martin, 53, have worked at a Denver bookshop, The Tattered Cover, squirreling away their paychecks in the pursuit of a single dream: a rural, live-in library where visitors will be able to connect with two increasingly endangered elements – the printed word and untamed nature. (Julie Turkewitz, The New York Times, 4/17/15)
The couple was inspired by a visit to the Gladstone Library in Wales, where the 250,000 volume collection was originally founded to house William Gladstone’s collection of Victorian history and theology.
