The smell of old books is scientifically known as 'book smell' and is caused by the breakdown of chemicals in the paper over time.

💡 2

Some libraries, like the Trinity College Library in Dublin, have chains on their books to prevent theft, a practice that dates back to the Middle Ages.

The average book in a library is checked out only once every five years, meaning many books remain untouched for long periods.
