Every time I see places like this my heart skips a beat. This is why I can’t handle spending too much time in a book store, because I know I can’t possibly afford to buy every book I want. My only enemy in libraries is time. A time limit isn’t as intimidating as a money limit for some reason.

Breathtaking image, and with a search with Tineye, found this:
“Interior of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County “Old Main” Building, photographer unknown, 1874.

In 1874 the Public Library of Cincinnati took possession of a small building intended to be an opera house. According to John Fleishman, “the parcel at 629 Vine Street was transformed in two stages into a library building that startled America with its cutting edge design. Its vast Main Hall featured five tiers of cast-iron book alcoves that could house over 200,000 volumes.”” – from Liquidnight.tumblr
