\"\"<\/a>These libraries are famous with good reason. They offer intricate touches of history, and range from century\u2019s old beautiful architecture to modern flights of imagination. If you\u2019re planning a timeshare rental vacation and want to explore something besides the same ol\u2019 museums \u2013 check out these fascinating libraries.<\/p>\n

1. Library of Congress: This library is featured in Washington DC and is what the USA was founded on. Here you can find important documents, amazing books and articles on the government and history of the country, as well as many other books on a variety of subjects. It\u2019s beautiful and it has much to do with what represents American culture as we know it today.<\/p>\n

2. Library of the Benedictine Monastery of Admont (see top photo): This very specific library in Austria is just something you can\u2019t believe until you see it. The architecture is nothing that we would see today and perhaps that is why we can\u2019t stop staring. Sure the selection of books and historical documents is of course impressive but the look of this library is what helps to make it famous.<\/p>\n

3. New York City Library: This is famous for many things, but most notably for housing people during the 9\/11 attacks. This became a focal point of these attacks and where people could come for refuge. It became a very sad sign of the times and is often associated with the tragic events that unfolded that day that will forever live in infamy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>4. Jay Walker\u2019s Private Library (see photo right): One simply can\u2019t believe that this was once a private library with all of the collections within it. The walls hold countless numbers of books and you simply can\u2019t believe it until you see it in person. This Connecticut library is famous for its eclectic collection, from books bound in rubies to a real Sputnik, and though you may never actually read anything from here, the choices are simply something to be seen out of astonishment if nothing else. <\/p>\n

Although these are all in fact libraries, they are not like anything that we\u2019ve ever seen. They are works of art and historical tributes that add a richness to the world\u2019s culture \u2013 and to your timeshare vacation.<\/p>\n
