A book is a gateway into another world where black-and-white snapshots of life are transformed into technicolor masterpieces. What does this then say about libraries? That libraries are sacred spaces -actually hallowed grounds- that allow you unlimited access to knowledge and imaginations for you to reach your potential.

And these days, residential libraries are on the rise due to entrepreneurship and home flex-work schedules. To live luxuriously is to read, to work and to succeed. And it's also about having a permanent quiet reading space -your own personal library- that inspires you to achieve the impossible.

Peruse these magnanimous libraries from around the world, accompanied by some of our most cherished authors who offer advice about reading.

“Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.” – Rainer Maria Rilke

Relatable in perhaps more ways than one, these libraries hold the most memorable of characters —written by authors who were dreamers, know-it-alls, learners and seekers. Whether an escapist like Ray Bradbury, a know-it-all like Carl Sagan, a surrealist like Jorge Luis Borges, or a lover of language like Rainer Maria Rilke, readers know that books have immense power. And you will too, seated at home in your luxury residential library.
