The FIVE: Coolest Libraries in the World
What's better than a library? Well . . . DANCE PARTIES. OK, but after that? Nothing!
Library fact #1: They look sweet.
Library fact #2: They hold zillions of books.
Library fact #3: The books are all FREE!
Not sure what else there is to say! The world is full of amazingly gorgeous libraries, and sometimes I find myself surfing the web, looking at library pictures, wishing I could go to one and just sit there and read for hours . . .
With that in mind, I'd like to present (sigh) the Five Coolest-Looking Libraries On Earth!
Strahov Philosophical Hall, Prague
If you ever saw Beauty and
the Beast, this is what I remember the Beast’s library looking like.
Austrian National Library, Vienna
The ceilings are so tall it kinda seems like a lot of wasted space. (Think
how many more books could fit there!) But it sure is beautiful.
This looks more like a castle than an actual library, but who cares? It makes me want to read Harry Potter.
Trinity College Library, Dublin
This place is so big it can fit like a megajillion books! Think how long it would take you to read all of those, and how much smarter you would be after you did.
New York Public Library, NYC
Well here's one I
don't have to rely on the Internet for – it's a few blocks from where I'm
sitting right now! And let me tell you, it's magnificent. Huge and hushed and
very welcoming with those famous lions out front. If you ever find yourself in the city, come check it out!
That's all I got, Splotters! Any other cool libraries I should know about?

Wow, I wish they had libraries like that where I lived. And you are right, libraries are not better than a dance party.
