Trivia time

Did you know that the Joanine Library in Coimbra has a unique defense system against book-eating insects? This baroque masterpiece, home to rare manuscripts, relies on a colony of bats. These nocturnal visitors emerge at night to feed on insects, effectively safeguarding the priceless collection. This historical practice illustrates the innovative preservation methods employed in centuries past.
