I think it’s wonderful to keep old books or videos that have sentimental value that you can often be reminded of. I also think going to a unique library to enjoy the atmosphere and their collection of media is fantastic.
These unique libraries will have you rummaging to collect all your great books, movies, home videos and whatever other media you have to find a creative and awesome ways to display or store them -- or you’ll be aching to hit up the local library and enjoy their collection!
