I'm a rather bookish lady. I love my glasses, reading by lamplight and the scent and feel of old paper under my fingertips. Libraries have always served as an endless source of inspiration and retreat; the leather chairs, endless stacks, muted tones and erudite vibe are pretty much my idea of paradise. I hope to one day have a personal library that rivals my favorite literary habitat. Luckily for me (and you!), Etsy has all of the vintage library accoutrements to achieve a professorial look and feel. If you love card catalogs and silence, prepare to be excited!
Assembling an enviable literary collection takes time. Start your library with contemporary and classic tomes that you'll want to read again and again.
No library would be complete without professorial kitsch. Make sure to endow your reading room with plenty of intellectual inspiration.
Comfy chairs and a sturdy-yet-beautiful desk are library necessities.
Think desks are purely utilitarian? Think again! These elegant desktop accessories will keep your studies on track while maintaining a literary atmosphere.
Keep your reading materials tidy and organized with these handy bookplates and library cards.
