In she Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris, there is a cat that sleeps in one of the rooms upstairs. That cat is truly majestic.

Stuttgart: What are your goals? I want to build something that will be the location of a wild chase in one of the next Bond movies.

Not quite a library but If you are ever in Columbus Ohio, visit the "Book Loft" for a pleasant maze of books. http://imgur.com/HXdb8ti

TY! Currently writing a book which will feature an impossibly big library. I need some good reference material to base it off! +1

I also tried to get the largest image size without quality loss of all included, if there are higher quality please post!

Yay for Prague! Too bad a lot of those locations are "behind a rope" and you cannot walk around freely. But, one can still appreciate beauty

Stadtbibliothek in Stuttgart bothers me. It's too sterile. Books are alive and need to have a home. They don't belong in a lab.

That mess in #4 is the best, I could hang there

The place in Brussels is cool, but if you're there try Filigrane. It's also close to the Royal Palace.

Very unnerving, yet it looks exactly how I imagined a German library would

It used to be in the old Summer Castle of some king before they moved it to that. Honestly I liked walking up those huge steps into a castle
