See, I’m telling ya – it all goes back to the characters being able to think for themselves. Once they begin to think for themselves, they start to have flashbacks of who they really are. And isn’t a library full of books a great way for people to start thinking for themselves? You read a book and start to theorize about why a certain character behaves a certain way, then you start to draw parallels about your own life. For the Storybrooke characters they would be reading about things they have never experienced before. It would almost guarentee they would choose to deviate from their Storybrooke course = thinking for themselves.
Excellent parallel 😀

But where are Mary Margaret and David getting there books? MM says to David in Skin Deep “Oh, you got the book”.
;(I was wondering that too. Then, I thought, maybe there’s a tiny bookstore somewhere in Storybrooke that we haven’t seen yet.
[adrotate group="5"]Did anyone else notice the emblem on Henry’s school uniform? To me, it appears to be a book crossed out, which is in keeping with the shut-up library idea.

slurpeez – That’s such a great catch! I’ve noticed that his uniform had an emblem on it before but never really paid close attention. I have to say that this one made me LOL because what a great example of how screwed up this town is. The emblem of the town’s school is a symbol of a book with a line cutting through it. Kind of like “No knowledge allowed” – just the kind of place I want to send my child for a quality education! 😆

I was listening to dvmp podcast and they mentioned how the close library actually represent the LOSS OF FREEDOM. The towns people can not leave, can not read, no independent thought… no library which is the bastion of freedom.

It’s fun to go back to old thread post the season 1 finale. Thinking about what’s in the library and why it was shut up, yup, Maleficent can do none of these things considering the form was trapped in. 😆 😆
Yup, if you ‘ve told me back in the day that the reason the library was closed was that it housed a dragon…
Now I’m so deeply invested in the series that my reaction is “Mal ‘s gone; time to dust those shelves and reopen!”@hjbau wrote:
I don’t think anyone built the town. I think the town just appeared when everyone moved from the fairytale land to the real world.
I agree it has been said many times that no one comes to Storybrooke. It appears until the arrival of Emma and August that no one had ever come to Storybrooke that could remember.
