Clinton Childrens Library, Little Rock

For true bibliophiles, all libraries are beautiful. Of course, some libraries are more beautiful than others. There’s a wonderful story at Tech Insider that looks at libraries in each of the 50 U.S. states that have at one time been judged as each state’s most attractive by the American Library Association or the American Institute of Architects. Take a look and judge for yourself.
