Thanks! Great pics of great libraries, and a sharp blog too. Book and library lover, never will get to read and/or visit all I’d like. You’ve taken me to them, enjoyed the visit, and I’m grateful for the trip.

This is a wonderful compendium of photos. Thanks for doing the work to find and assemble them and then sharing them with other library lovers. I have loved occasionally visiting libraries when I travel, but had not ever thought of making them a theme of travelling. Seeing these beautiful photographs has inspired me to do that on future trips.
Really Beautiful,
Thanks.
