The New York Public Library will be closed from May 26 to May 28.
This is a photo of the Map Division at the New York Public Library. One of the many beautiful spaces at the Library. Not only is it a great source for map research, it is also an inspiration for any design enthusiast. Gold leaf ceiling, anyone?
And although New York Public is my daily source of inspiration, I found a wonderful online exhibition of great libraries all over the world from Curious Expeditions. One of my favorites is the Joanina Library University of Coimbra, Portugal. I’m a sucker for a library ladder.
