An old desk in an old library

Photo from the "Cathedral Library of Kalocsa."

I love libraries - especially old libraries.  And I love photos of nooks and corners and desks surrounded by shelves of books.  Some of my favorite memories are of old libraries where I studied (and where I worked as a college student).

I suspect the desk in this photo is badly lit, and the floor squeaks, and perhaps it's cold and musty, but I'd love to sit at that desk and pull down a random book from a shelf and start browsing...

Photo found at Poemas del rio Wang.
