I make no secret of the fact that I’m a hardcore bibliophile, but we’re a common enough lot these day. And the one sight that always makes me linger over a webpage is rows and rows of neatly organized books. So, in an effort to draw more like-minded read here to my little blog, I decided to round-up a gallery of photos of some of the most beautiful libraries I’ve ever seen photos of. Enjoy. Of course, these are only my top choice for the world’s most beautiful libraries.

Fred's shirt on the fourth poster reminds me of that Family Guy scene where Peter has to kill a whole bunch of people on a plane, because he's the temporary grim reaper. These comics are absolutely fabtabulously so awesome that I had to run around the block 3 times to wear down the excitement I got from reading them. http://lucylou.livejournal.com/593585.html

Banksy didn’t win an Academy Award, wasn’t spotted at the show and didn’t even bother to vandalize the Kodiak Theater restrooms – disappointing stuff, we know. On a positive note, the hype surrounding his nomination brought attention to an often overlooked film genre, the documentary. While Exit Through the Gift Shop starts our list, other noteworthy art and design documentaries have been released in the past few years. Amateur filmmaker Thierry Guetta’s project to chronicle the underground world of street art takes a fascinating twist when he meets Banksy, an elusive British stencil artist, in this Oscar-nominated documentary. Unimpressed with Guetta’s footage, Banksy takes over filmmaking duties while Guetta reinvents himself as a street artist and — much to Banksy’s surprise — immediately becomes a darling of the Los Angeles art scene. http://designcrave.com/2011-03-03/12-art-design-documentaries-you-should-queue/
