In case you didn’t know, most rare book libraries are built with no windows. Yale university’s famous Beinecke Library is no exception. The reason behind this is to completely control temperatures and humidity. This way the quality and condition of the incredibly rare books is ensured and their longevity guaranteed.
Beinecke Library is such an impressive building. The renowned university truly offers its students the best. Below we’re take a look at the library from the outside as well as the inside. It’s worth noting that the library has been operating for over 50 years and is right now closed for renovation. Without further ado, fellow lazy penguin readers, let’s take a look at the majestic library!
