Beautiful libraries and bookstores

I love libraries. I used to spend a lot of time working at libraries – I even had a job at my public library when I was an undergrad!

My office is very close to the Grande Bibliothèque – the national library of Québec, and it’s an amazing place to read or work. Maybe someday I’ll devote a post to this library… but in the meantime, here are pictures of other very cool libraries and bookstores found around the world. Enjoy!
