brief_description
Temples of Books explores the most stunning examples of libraries, but it also explores how varied the idea of a library can be. It can be a grand Baroque hall with leather-bound tomes or a mid-century masterpiece, but it can just as easily be a few shelves in a repurposed phone booth. -- Publisher
