This imposing castle in the middle of rural Ohio is the home of the oldest county library in the United States. The library was initially formed as a private book lending society in 1890, subsidised by city taxes and made public in 1896. In 1901, with funding from John Brumback, a local businessman and owner of the town’s bank, this building was opened and access to the library was made available to the entire county. His son then went to the Ohio Legislature and got a law passed that enshrined the county library system all over the state. Soon, other states followed.

Today, the county-owned library paradigm is found all over the United States.

One of the mostly densely populated islands on earth, Santa Cruz del Islote off the coast of Colombia has between 600 and 1200 residents on an island just over 1 hectare in size!

It was “built” up by fishermen in the mid 19th Century partly because it had no mosquitoes. Water arrives by boat every three week courtesy of the Colombian Navy.
