I am in love with this library. And if that's wrong, I don't want to be right. This is a peaceful building full of treasures within. The architecture and antique furniture is almost sublime. The children's wing has stained glass windows featuring scenes from Alice in Wonderland and Charlotte's Web and Winnie the Pooh.
The smell when you walk in is indescribable. It's like a time machine to another era. This must be the smell of old books and an enormous amount of oak.
