Libraries and book shops are a Book Geek’s favorites places on earth. (Librarians and booksellers are our favorite people on earth – but we’ll save that for another discussion.)
Books make any room beautiful, and some libraries take that beauty to the next level. And the smell of old books? Ahhh. You know what we’re talking about.
We want to bring our favorite book to these reading rooms and spend the afternoon.
To celebrate literary oases, we’ve collected photos of some of the most gorgeous libraries in the world. Sleek and modern or intricate and classic – we love them all.
