What is "Book Bathing?"
Maybe you've heard of forest bathing, a mindfulness practice that began in Japan in the 1980s. We wanted to try our own library version called "book bathing!"
This practice encourages participants to center themselves in the present moment and take in their surroundings, engaging all five senses and exploring those senses in the library space. Part meditation, part imaginative wandering, book bathing invites you to reimagine the library's physical space and your relationship to it.
