A visually appealing library innovations are a bibliophiles dream come true. There are many beautiful libraries and book storage innovations around the world. The libraries can be open to the public or privately owned. A stunning way to store beloved books is to dedicate an entire wall to shelving space in your home, or perhaps a practical solution like a spinning library table.
Who said libraries only store books? There are expansive wine libraries for storing wine bottles instead of books; where you can read wine labels and enjoy some wine tasting instead. If you are always on-the-go there are mobile truck libraries that can roll through the street and lend books. A domed ceiling library may appeal to some, and you could even build a ceiling library within your home.
These book worm library innovations are great for curling up with a good book and a glass, or rather bottle of wine, selected from your in home library.
