ah so many books, so little time...

but seriously, why would you want to spend your day torturing yourself? :p

but they are lovely looking libraries

Oh, the torture wasn't self-inflicted. It was my otherwise well-intentioned brother-in-law who was all, "Hey, you're a librarian - so you should love these!"

-sigh-

But yes, they are gorgeous libraries. -Readjusting psyche to focus on the beauty as desirable in itself-
