Hello, teachers!!

http://www.pnca.edu/exposure/news/232/

�I have been coming to this library since I was a student at the Museum Art School�, said George Johanson. � I came to look at art books, then read philosophy and it continued from there. One cannot exaggerate the importance of this library to our community. I am so glad that our library, this library, continues to thrive and I�m thrilled to have one my painting be a part of it.�
----->
I came to look at art books, then read philosophy and it continued from there.

I cannot understand the above sentence.

(1) Why do you need the word "then"?
(2) Why do you "read philosophy"? Does "read philosophy" have something with art?
(3) What do "it" and "there" refer to?

Thank you in advance.

I came here initially to look at art books and later read philosophy. It (coming to his library) continued from there.[/quote][/code]
