In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them. ~ Mark Twain

Amazing and architecture at its excellence. All the libraries were fantastic.
I love interesting libraries and this is a great selection. I have spent many happy hours at the Vancouver Public Library. I even taught a course there three summers ago. An amazing place.
Thank you — and I can say the same thing. I’ve been in libraries that are more like homes, and I peruse the used books sections in every second hand and antique store I go through. Reading will never die!
So glad you like them! When I think of libraries I think of old antique buildings, of which there are many, too. But these designs were so modern — calling the next generation of readers!

I love looking at interesting buildings. Of course I live in a boring late sixties building with zero personality….😆
