a grand world tour of old libraries

This post is about old libraries - beautifully constructed repositories of history, knowledge, information throughout the ages. A simply magical world.


The photos by Curious Expeditions are most inspiring! It would be awesome to go on a grand library tour around the world.

By the way, I was bemused to see old Enid Blyton and Nancy Drew books being sold and displayed under the "Antique" section of a nice quaint independent bookstore I visited on Sunday. Haha, it's a sign of age.

I pictured my own collection on my bookshelf at home and wondered if I would ever part with them.

Nah, I seriously doubt it.
