A good book and a beautiful library certainly sounds like a match made in heaven to us.
You can dream on, with these eight libraries recognised in the 2017 AIA/ALA Library Building Awards. Just dream quietly please.

Projects can be located anywhere around the world, but only those designed by an architect licensed in the U.S. can be submitted in the competition.
Still, these libraries are worth marvelling (quietly) at. Ah, we can almost hear the beautiful silence.

The inside is a large rectangular space which accommodates bookshelves, an area for teenagers and children, public computers and a quiet room.

It stands in an area earmarked for green space by a former city mayor, if not for the efforts of residents to ensure their local library was rebuilt.

The library's print collection was downsized to increase communal space, as student interaction became a priority.
