Amazing Libraries

We were inspired by a book titled: The Most Beautiful Libraries of the World by Guillaume de Laubier (Author), Jacques Bosser (Photographer), James H. Billington (Contributor), Laurel Hirsch (translator) (Author). In the day and age of information, with the primary sourcing appears to be electronics and the internet, it is the "wow" factor of these incredible libraries that make us take a little step back. Here are just a hand full of the libraries we thought you might enjoy from the above book. Headed in the direction of any of these magnificant structures? Eco-tour idea: walk through and feed your eyes and your mind.

A: Bibliteca di Belle Arti Milano
B: Stiftsbibliothek Klosterneuburg, Klosterneuburg, Austria
C: Ruggs Library, Georgetown, NY
D: Central Library - Seattle
E: Suzzallo Library-Seattle
F: Abbey Library St. Gallen, Switzerland
G: Blioteca-general-da-universidade-de-coimbra-iv
H: Melk Monastery Library, Melk, Austria
I: Codrington-Oxford-England
J: St Gall
