The world has been developing its technology at a very fast rate and the old ways have been getting outdated from its use. Books have been converted into ebooks and multimedia forms very quickly. Lesser and lesser people are reading actual physical books now. But reading a book physically and visiting a library is a separate form of art that people practice, even though they could search and get the book they are looking for right on their digital devices.

There is something else about libraries. They have the most beautiful architectural layouts if you take a look around. Meet Reinhard Görner who is an architectural photographer who has been traveling the world to capture amazing sights of architecture. Among all his photo collections and series, “Libraries” is a very beautiful collection of photos of libraries all over the world.
