I thought that this would be appreciated here: curiousexpeditions.org/?p=78I think I'd like to be locked in some of them for a few weeks, with a supply of bread and water. |

They're so beautiful it makes me want to cry!! I've seen the ones in Boston and New York (US), the one in San Lorenzo (Spain), and the one in Ottawa (Canada).

*librarygasm*That one in Brazil..!!  Did anyone see that recent episode of the new 'Dr Who' series where the Doctor and Donna visit The Library.. a futuristic planet entirely dedicated to books. I'm not sure where they filmed it (some of it was CGI, but a lot looked like it was filmed on location at a big library somewhere) but it looked like heaven to me. A library planet.. ah, it's that kind of idea that makes me wish sci-fi was real.. that and the holodeck from Star Trek!

I'd be too afraid I'd mess something up to go in one of those libraries!

New York is just amazing, I was there last year and took a tour. The art on the ceilings and the reading rooms are awesome. The one at Parliment in Ottawa was beautiful before they renovated it, I haven't got to see it since. |

Wow that's so much nicer than our law library. If it looked like that I'd study there all the time, as opposed to never! |

I hardly used it at all my second and third year. Although I spent lots of time working in the newer part which is not nearly so pretty. |

I can't picture modern books in libraries that look like that
