Who doesn’t want a library in their house?  I know I sure do.  I think it might have started when I was a little girl watching Beauty and the Beast, or it may just be because I love books so much, but the idea of having my very own special library just tickles me to death.  There are so many ways to create your own in-home library, whether you have a lot of space, or just a little bit.  Adding a library to your home gives it that little extra touch of class and personality that will set it apart from all others.

Here are some of our favorite library inspirations, along with some little tips for getting started.
