Where it is |
Why? |
| Old Trinity Oxford Library

Voted one of the most beautiful libraries in the world, it is also the largest library in Ireland. The new one sounds pretty interesting as well. |
| Library of Congress |
 |
Washington D.C., United States |
The second largest library in the world (has over 20 million catalogued books). As the copyright library of the United States, every single book that was ever officially published in the United States is here. |
| British Library |
 |
London, U.K. |
THE LARGEST LIBRARY IN THE WORLD. Has over 170 million items (almost 14 million books). Plus, London sounds like a nice place to visit. |
| Ancient Library of Alexandria |
 |
Alexandria, Egypt |
Ancient. ANCIENT. 3rd century BC. Also quite close to where I am living right now. The destruction of this library made many scholars around the world cry. |
| National Library of China |
 |
Beijing, PRC |
The largest library in Asia. Though one cannot check out items cannot be checked out from here, still, it is open to the public. Ancient Chinese artifacts are here. |
| Last but not least- any library I happen to come by |

Any place that strives to preserve and share knowledge is heaven for me. |
