Katherinev123 — Dec 3, 2009 — Art & Design
If you love books, chances are you love the libraries that let you borrow them without cost (unless you keep the books past their due dates). Even in our technologically-enhanced society, there is still reason to keep the ‘business’ model that is the library in existence—because even virtual books come with a price. For all the book-borrowers out there, here is a collection of librarian features, from outdoor book rooms to librarian chic editorials.
