I Like Big Books and I Cannot Lie


I am blessed to live in a town with a beautiful library.  

Image from 1913, the year of it's completion

Although there is now an addition on one side, it was originally designed to look like an open book.


It's beautiful inside and out.  Here are some of my own photos of our library.





What does this have to do with my post on book benches?  It's like this...


And these are some very big books.  Actually, they're benches.  I came across them while strolling through the interwebs looking for book related projects for the house and they were so awesome that I had to share them with you.
