About the library: I’m 23 years old and I live in Italy — I think this is the first submission from this country . I own mostly European literature, several art books of different crafts, monographies of European painters and drawings, philosophy and religion essays, publications of local geography and history, old books (some are more than a century old) and encyclopedias … I’m obsessed by books !

About the library:
I have been building this library for many, many years and am quite proud of it. It currently takes up one entire wall of our living room with overflow in my shed. I have an enormous clip art library (Bottom
and middle 2 shelves to the far right) of which I use for some base illustrations, (always modifying into custom art.)

The bottom shelf holds the vintage printer clips, art catalogs and other miscellaneous
vintage art reference. The top right is my collection of rare sign-painter books. Signpainters were the original graphic designers.

About the library: This is my little library, well…, a little portion of my little library. I spend here all my time, all my life. Books, only books. A chaise-long, the world of my shelves, and a good book in front of me is all I need when I’m alone.

Name: Meredith

Country: United States

About the library: This is the library side of our home office/library. All of our books are on these shelves, with the exception of my husband’s psychology textbooks, my writing references, and our packed away children’s books. This collection is the culmination of my English major, his English minor, and our general bibliophilia.

In addition to providing a home for our books, these shelves double as a jungle gym for our cats. I have to do some reshuffling/reorganizing, as evidenced by the empty shelf.

Name: Cristina

Country: Germany

About the library: I’d like to also share a picture with my small home library. It started with a few German books belonging to my husband. Then I brought more books from my country when I moved from Romania to Germany. With the time there arrived more and more books,  especially written in Romanian and art catalogues from the exhibitions we visited both together. For sure my library will continue to grow, as well as the reading hunger.

Country: Greece

About the library: This is one of my home libraries it holds about one third of our books. It’s my favourite because it’s in the kitchen and I spend most of my time here, the chair which is slightly visible is where I sit to write my blog or do my homework. I love being surrounded by my books and I love exchanging using Bookmooch or Bookcrossing!

Country: United States

About the library: This is about 10% of my books. I like to display nonbook items, such as an old radio, a fossil, and a bust of Mozart on the shelf with the books so that the bookshelves blend in with the room. My goal is to have a den with an old wooden desk placed in the center of the room surrounded by four walls lined  floor to ceiling with books.

Name: Gattina

Country: Belgium

About the library: This picture shows the main bookshelf we have in our house. It is in my husband’s room and consists of books in four languages. German, French, Engish and Italian. As a German living in Belgium I have always worked for American companies that is why I read in these languages. My husband is Italian and of course reads in his mother tongue too.
