> Beneath the Emmanuel Church on Newbury Street in Boston, tucked away in the basement, sits a library
This is underselling it: it's in a side street off Newbury, where nobody would have any reason to go, with a tiny little door about half the size of all the other doors marked "Puppet Library"[1].
I visited many years ago by complete accident: I was out running with some friends on a Tuesday afternoon, we were going down the public alley because Newbury was heaving, and saw this sign. We wandered in, and...yeah, there's a lot of puppets.

Thanks for that link. I love the sign, it made me laugh.
The sign is hand written, stating:

TUESDAYS 2-7
so it looks like it’s advertising a puppet free library, as if they had to ban puppets from this particular library.
as a child I found puppet exposure disturbing and semi traumatic
