February is officially Library Lovers Month and as confirmed library lovers/ lurkers, we put together a list of just some of the world’s most beautiful libraries. From Prague to Dublin, and a few closer to home, you can almost smell the books…

While these examples may be spectacular, every library is deserving of love, so your local a little extra appreciation this month!
