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.

As a librarian, I'd be so happy to work in any of these

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.
ZugZugAlright
That mess in #4 is the best, I could hang there
Neuroactive
easily my favorite too!

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

George Peabody Library (second one down) is in Baltimore. Not sure why that one didn't have a location listed.

That one in Stuttgart is a bit unnerving.

I went there once, it's really peaceful
Matt420itsmybirthdayimnotapothead
Very unnerving, yet it looks exactly how I imagined a German library would

It doesn't exactly scream "sit down and and enjoy a read" does it?
MisterJP
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

No Library of Congress?
