Liyuan Library, located in a small and quiet settlement in nature; offers one of the most enjoyable ways to be alone with books. While the facade of the building is completely covered with wooden bars; This situation primarily offers visuality on the exterior. In addition, thanks to the wooden bars, the inside of the building is as bright and convenient for reading as possible. The interest and love of the locals for books is also admirable in this library, which was created without breaking away from nature.

Amsterdam University Library

The origins of the library can be traced to 1578, when after the Alteratie (Alteration) books and manuscripts from Roman Catholic institutions in Amsterdam were gathered into a library open to one and all. This City Library was first housed in the Nieuwe Kerk and then moved to the attics of the Agnietenkapel at the founding of the Athenaeum Illustre in 1632. It was not until 1877, when the Athenaeum Illustre became the Municipal University, that the original City Library officially became the University Library.

In the 19th century, the collection had become so large (and the Agnietenkapel so derelict) that the books were housed at several other locations, until 1881 when the library moved to the Handboogdoelen at Singel 421, the former home of the Long-bow militia. During restoration works in 1968, much of the original 16th-century building reappeared and it turned out that the Library probably contains some of the oldest masonry in town and the only fireplace with a late medieval mantelpiece. The buildings at Handboogstraat 16 and 18 were added in 1919, and during World War II also the building at Singel 423, which has a façade from 1609 by Hendrick de Keyser. This was originally the town arsenal and later served as the royal stables. Queen Wilhelmina, who had fled to London at the outbreak of the war, gave her written permission to add the building to the Library.

The main building at Singel 425 is from the 1960s. Here were originally the premises of the Arbalest Militia, and later the 19th-century Catholic St Catherine’s church. In 1939 the church was demolished and the plot left vacant until the second half of the Sixties, when the new building by architect Jan Leupen was built. This modern building is considered a typical example of 1960s architecture.

The Special Collections at Oude Turfmarkt are housed in two adjacent buildings: one from 1642, designed by Philips Vingboons, the other from 1842-1843 is the former St Bernardus mental home. The restoration work on the buildings started in 2004, and the Special Collections library was officially opened in May 2007 by Queen Beatrix.

The Old Library of

Trinity College Dublin

If you hate reading plaques, this library is for you.

What’s this place's story?
With two levels of floor-to-ceiling wooden shelves packed with books, many only reachable by a sliding ladder, this immense university library, which dates back to the early 18th century, is a book lover's paradise. In the daytime, light pours into the stacks, which look even more dramatic under the coffered ceiling.

What will we find in this sprawling collection?

You're not here to check out just any ol' book. Instead, buy advance online tickets to peek at the Book of Kells, a preserved vellum manuscript dating back to the 4th century, and its adjoining exhibition. Busts of famous thinkers and scholars—all male, fair warning—adorn the The Long Room of the Old Library.

How were the exhibits?
Exhibitions, which change seasonally, highlight Irish literary traditions. Recently, the library showcased children's books and works by Irish women. Several supplementary online exhibitions let visitors browse some of the collection digitally.

What did you make of the crowd?
Visitors range from bookworms entranced by the picturesque collection to checklist travelers eager to to check off the Book of Kells. The library may be crowded at times, but it's always reasonably quiet; only the hushed voices of tour guides echo throughout the long chamber.

On the practical tip, how are facilities?
There are few benches and tables.

Any guided tours worth trying?
There are tours of the campus and library.

Mafra Palace Library, Mafra, Portugal

The library, located on the second floor of the Mafra Palace, which is located about 30 kilometers from Lisbon, is definitely among the information resources worth seeing worldwide. It would not be wrong to say that the most beautiful part of the palace is this library designed in baroque style.

If your library visit falls in the summer, be prepared for the swarms of tiny bats. These animals, perching in secluded places in winter, form a natural part of the palace people in the summer.

Bats, who have lived in this palace library for more than 800 years, have also marked the tourism of the country. Bats, which once fed on maggots that ate manuscript books, are especially fed by palace officials, although this is no longer the case.
