1. Script
This is known as one of the most beautiful libraries in the entire world. It belonged to J.P. Morgan. This guy over here, who's known as one of the richest men in American history. Here's his private safe where he stored many of his valuable possessions. His entire private study is filled with plush red velvet. Above, we see a mural that covers the entire history of books. Apparently, in this room, the very first librarian, Bella Costa Green, still haunts it. And prepare yourself, because these 30-foot high ceilings are one of the most magical places you'll ever visit. It has an entire mural of the zodiac. The room was designed by Charles McKim. He's one of the most famous Gilded Age architects. There's a lot of rare books over here. Including one very rare print of a Gutenberg Bible. I highly recommend visiting this museum when it opens up again.

3. My story
During my high school trip, we visited Beijing University's library. This is known as one of the most impressive libraries in Asia. It belonged to some of the brightest minds of the past century. The library's grandeur was awe-inspiring, with vast reading halls. Apparently, it houses original manuscripts from ancient Chinese scholars. There's a lot of rare books over here, showcasing China's rich academic history. I was particularly fascinated by the ancient scrolls and texts. I highly recommend visiting this library if you're ever in Beijing. It's a blend of history, culture, and knowledge.
