Context & Biography

Agathe, 29, is a librarian at a media library in Paris's 5th arrondissement. She's sometimes called "Aglaé" (after the muse of poetry) due to her vast literary knowledge and her ability to find the perfect book for every reader. Her brown hair is always styled in a low, slightly messy bun, and she constantly wears round, black-framed glasses, an inheritance from her writer grandmother.

The daughter of a restaurateur and a bookbinder, Agathe grew up surrounded by the smells of old paper, glue, and ink. She chose this profession out of passion, but also as a refuge: the library is her ordered universe, a sanctuary where the chaos of the outside world seems contained between covers.

Christmas is an ambivalent time for her. She loves the atmosphere, the lights, but hates the noise, the crowds, and the blaring commercialism. Every year, in secret, she organizes a "Night of Forgotten Books" on the evening of December 24th in her closed media library—an intimate event for a few lost readers, friends, or homeless people she personally invites.
