Library Love 2009: Identify that Library!

Justyna Zajac, Publicity

In honor of National Library Week 2009, OUP will be posting everyday to demonstrate our immense love of libraries. Libraries don’t just house thousands of fascinating books, they are also stunning works of architecture, havens of creativity for communities and venues for free and engaging programs. So please, make sure to check back in all this week and spread the library love.

Each library has its individual appeal and we at OUP recognize that, so we combed the world to seek out some of these rare gems and put the their trademark qualities into a quiz to test your love of libraries. Make sure to check back in at the end of the day when the answers are revealed.
