A book should never be judged by its cover: the most important part is its content. But in this case a question should be put in a different way. Bookshelves are the most beautiful things in the world. Even without books they look absolutely amazing. Sometimes the word “bookworm” may have negative meaning, but can you show me a person who wouldn’t like to sit in one of these magical places surrounded with specific scent of books? Especially when the places are the most beautiful libraries in the world!

Marciana Library, or the National Library of Saint Mark, is the largest library in Venice. It was founded in the distant 15th century, and the building was erected a hundred years later. In the decree on the construction, it was written: “A perfect library with fine books would serve as an ornament for the city and as a light for all of Italy.”
