I love me a grand looking library, and here’s one as grand as it gets. Barr Smith Library at the University of Adelaide, Australia.
Can’t you just imagine Burgess Meredith’s bookworm savant from the classic Twilight Zone episode “Time Enough at Last’s” Henry Bemis getting purposefully shut inside this paradise of pulp? I’d probably be right there with him. Reminding him to keep his glasses ever close at all times.

I agree, and miss the days when my kid was small and the library was out prime source of entertaining him. We were poor but had the library and the playgrounds to make him happy.
