In response to: Home Library of Dreams Torsten Adair commented: On the surface, my library would be like the Morgan Library in New York City. My personal collection would be like his, a nice space, with a mezzanine, and comfortable chairs to read in (or nap in). This would be part of my house, but separate. Perhaps on the second floor, with a large skylight. No windows, but a large balcony to enjoy the view if I care to read outside. Below ground would be at least ten sub-basements, housing my library and other collections.

In response to: Home Library of Dreams VICKI commented: I totally agree with Torsten's description--the Morgan library is my ideal! Though the sliding ladders and spiral staircase to the 2nd floor were left out of the description, and they are a MUST, as is a wood-burning stove (that someone else magically maintains for me--perhaps a house elf?). My husband tries to tempt me into moving by offering up a "library" for me, and it might just work one of these days!
