Do you dream of having a library?

I already have one. Well sort of.

Its an old serverts quarters that is built into our house and has a separate kitchen. Well the kitchen area hasn't been used as one for like a 100 years at least.

So I use the old cabinets that once held food and dishes. They now hold all my books and stuff.

The kitchen still has the old cast iron sink and wood/coal fire oven cook stove in place. And yes before you ask. They still work and still get used from time to time

Well, I don't exactly have that, but I do have books falling about all over the place......bedside cabinets, in an actual official bookcase, stuck on top of various tables, among other things in a display cabinet, stuck down the side of places, in the top of a wardrobe. Those are the REAL books, the ones you can love and feel the heft of. Then my kindle, on which I have a library of literally 1000's - easy to change the font size of the type for my sometimes tired old eyes.

That’s exactly what I have in my living room, including the rolling ladder!

Yes! At my school the library had three galleried levels, big windows (with lots of natural lighy), and lots of nooks and crannies where you could read comfortably for hours. I would like something like that 😌

Lost several such libraries. Need to build my current one up some more. It's only two book cases. And I just got those two a few weeks ago.

No, I have two shelves that are full and I know I don't even need all those books. I just can't make myself give them away. Plus there are plenty of books in other rooms I never read and maybe never will. I'm not sure what would I keep in my library. It's also a bit inconvenient if you want to search for something particular. In E-book, you just use a search option and it throws you straight to the page you want.

Was nice just looking through pics. Thanks for your post. 🙂

I kinda have one. Small. But it's a lot.

It’s my biggest dream.

I have a room full of books on floor to ceiling shelves, but I'm in the process of thinning the stock. I've donated about 30 history books to the local library in the past month. Many more to be donated since the shelves still seem to be full.

That’s a dream of mine ❤

Heaven!!!!!

I have a room with bookshelves on all four walls. Some are almost floor to ceiling. But it's not all that impressive as it is only 4 x 5 m and I can reach the top shelves without a ladder.

I could certainly use the shelf space. Mostly for my models and collectibles.

Though that would be lovely, I don't dream of it.

A reading room with a view

Id kike that

Not yet!

I don't like reading at all.

Yes I have actually. It was also the master bedroom with the bed in the middle.
