A series of photographs curated by George Oates entitled 'People Sleeping in Libraries' captures people caught snoozing. The photos show different people napping in a variety of libraries. Each of the captures shows a different person resting their heads in a peaceful slumber. Since libraries are a naturally quiet place, they are the perfect place to take a nap and the people captured in these photographs seem to have taken advantage of that.
The voyeuristic photos were taken by a wide variety of photographers. People Sleeping in Libraries shows people from across the world taking naps in their respective libraries. This international series of captures has people napping in various awkward positions as they attempt to position themselves comfortably.
