Our topic for this week is: bookish wishes. Since I don’t really have a lot, I thought I’d list the top ten inspirations for dream libraries, real or imaginary.
1. The fictional library in Beauty & the Beast, but inspired by the Admont Abbey Library
It’s Beauty & the Beast 🙂
2. George Peabody Library, in Baltimore, Maryland
The railings, and the 6 floors of books!
3. Library of Muyinga, Burundi
This is like a reading porch, with hammocks! Yes, please!
4. National Library of France
The design!
5. Rijksmuseum Research Library, in Amsterdam
The wood, the railings, the skylights, the windows, and the arches!
6. Royal Portuguese Reading Room, in Rio de Janeiro
I mean, look at those colors!
7. State Library of South Australia
The wood, the railing, and the skylight!
8. Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, in Canada
The design, the lighting, the ceiling!
9. Trinity College Library, in Dublin, Ireland
Look at all of that dark wood!…and I love the letters for each row of books!
10. Yale University Beinecke Rare Book Library
The ceiling, the design!
