Libraries that you want to return to

Many people believe that libraries have long been outdated, that it is no longer fashionable to read paper books, and sitting in reading rooms generally sucks. Reconsider your opinion! First, reading books will never go out of fashion (and electronic libraries will never replace traditional ones). And secondly, there are libraries in the world that you want to come to again and again. Of course! After all, they look like real palaces!
