*Not in any particular order

Whether ornate or modern, digital or dusty, the library is in many ways the epicenter of a campus - at least for some students. It is at once a shining emblem of vast, acquirable knowledge, a place for deep discussions and meetings of the mind, and of course, a big building full of books, which is exciting enough.

From Portugal to France to Boston here are 25 of the most beautiful college libraries in the world.
