These pillars of higher learning are also home to some of the world’s most
incredible architecture. Below is a small collection of stunning libraries
around the globe. From the historical to the modern, these centres of knowledge
and learning also preserve the history and culture of their respective periods.
Personally, I would find it hard to concentrate in some of these places, they
are too beautiful for the eye not to wander. More images after the break...
