Three fine libraries; I'd be pleased to try them all.
Nice photos. I like the first two because the library in South Wales looks like it has a large interior, which can only mean one thing…LOTS of wonderful books! Also, the second photo featuring the Inner Temple library actually looks like a painting.

What grand old buildings! I especially like the columns on the New South Wales library and the turret style top on the Library of the Inner Temple.
Such exciting architecture in those buildings.
the library in Bangalore is so, so British. I wonder if it still looks like that today.

The library in New South Wales looks very imposing.
Libraries used to be so big and permanent looking. Now they are not. I think if I could zap myself into any of these three pictures, I would chose the one in the middle.
Oh yes, once I return from the lake (cold, cold lake) I'd like to venture inside your last library!
