A exploratory project examined ways in which libraries might remain relevant in an increasingly digital age. Souvenir was one of many concepts aimed at keeping travel and the memories of patrons alive through the rich resources that libraries offer. An underlying philosophy involved in the offering was armchair-to-airplane travel; the idea that traveling is a state of mind as much as a physical journey, accessible through the library and the airport alike.
