The mysterious National Library of Addictions

The mysterious National Library of Addictions

Of all the libraries in all the world, which is the most addictive — and the most mysterious? Perhaps it’s The National Library of Addictions.
This addictive entity is located in Brookline, Massachusetts. Founded by Punyamurtula S. Kishore, M.D., M.P.H., it is said (by itself) to be “an intellectual gathering place for health care professionals and community members.”
The institution is little known to the library-loving public, and information about it is scarce.
Many questions present themselves. What addictions are kept in the library’s collection, and which of them are available for use by the public? Which of these addictions can be taken out on loan? Is there a children’s room, or is the library open only to adults?
Bibliophiles note with pleasure that the library, in addition to its many other fine attributes, may, possibly, own some books.
