The+Most+Beautiful+Libraries

This collection of sites is based on the book //The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World// by Guillaume De Laubier and Jacques Bosser. In the office of the Librarian of Congress located at the Thomas Jefferson Building, one can read the latin inscription: //Liber dilectatio anime//: Books, the delight of the soul. The libraries in this list have linked beautiful architecture with literature. Two of my passions.
