Though they are losing ground to the
e-book and the audio book, libraries were once central hubs of human
intellectual progress. There's something about them that still attracts
people, however – whether it's their magnificent architecture or the
unmistakable smell of books and dust, scholars and dreamers alike still
enjoy perusing their hoards of literary treasures.
Because of their critical importance,
libraries were often built to be beautiful and built to last. Combined
with the sometimes priceless treasures that they hold, their
simultaneously enormous and intimate spaces possess a charm that no
other type of building can command.
If you know of any other amazing
libraries that should be celebrated on this list, then please add them.
