Not quite as grand as yours, but I've always wanted to have look around Chetham's in Manchester ...

Not quite as grand as some but the Lit and Phil in Newcastle is still pretty special.

I got a dislike for providing a link to a beautiful library.

I was in Prague once, I could dislike the fact that I didn't go and see it

There is a certain beauty about these libraries, not because they are in grand and often ostentatious buildings but in simple buildings which form part of our heritage, and were set up by simple ordinary people for the use of simple ordinary people

They're probably illegitimate and don't understand the difference between 'Like' and 'Dislike'.

John Rylands in Manchester can hold its own against some of those

that Prague one though... wow...

It certainly can http://www.ramboll.co.uk/~/media/Images/RUK/Projects/JKL/John%20Rylands%20L...

The Prague one, whilst impressive, is is a little bit kitsch.

I got to handle a 1687 edition of Newton's Principia Mathematica when I visited Chetham's as a student in the 90s. Not sure they would let me near it now!

Beautiful. I love libraries.

The library at the University of Copenhagen is pretty special (not my blog, but it's a great photo of it)
