Aren't these European libraries exquisite?
I can easily spend hours reading in these beautiful rooms
"The accumulation of books in these great historical libraries is beyond the imagination of any book lover", is how the photographer Ahmet Ertug describes these 'palaces of enlightenment.'

They are just fantastic, I would so love to drift quietly around one of these places, picking books here and there.

What a magnificent post! I can definitely imagine losing myself for hours in any of these libraries. Especially The Mazarine Library in Paris.

They are incredibly beautiful! I must admit, I just adore books and libraries. We have a (somewhat small) library in our home and it is definitely the most inspiring room to visit -- thank you for sharing these...
