If you are a lover of great literature, you know that there is no better sight than a library, which is chock-full of the best sights (books), smells (books), and tastes (boo – err, I mean coffee). While you may think that a library is a library, not all are created equal, as demonstrated by this Colorado library which is considered to be one of the most beautiful in the country:
