I just added a picture set of libraries to my queue, hardly the first one I’ve reblogged either – towering stacks of books set in jaw dropping buildings is kinda irresistible.

Anyway it reminded me of how disappointed I was seeing the actual library in The Librarians (aka the Reading Room, or the symbolic representation of the library) because it wasn’t jaw dropping inspiring at all. Honestly my university library with the endless stacks of floor-ceiling book shelves is more impressive.

^^ see what I mean?

Picking from that aforementioned library picture set I think it should have looked a little more like this:

or this

Moar books, books as far as you can see, books with rails, books with ladders, books that say “hello this is a library” and feels like it’s a few thousand years old. That book collection supposedly hearkens back to the library of Alexandria and it feels more like the children’s section at Barnes and Noble.
