Description
I discovered this small community library on the remote Estonian Ruhnu island as a bicycle tourist on a trip of the Baltic states in the summer 2013.

Ruhnu covers an area of 12 km². There is only a road from the port to the village. Ruhnu has an interesting history and you can reach all  “sights” by foot in a day.

I reached the library in the afternoon. A sign indicated that it was closed at the moment. But outside was a table with two chairs in front of the entrance. So I sat down and used their free wifi hotspot as a window to the world.
