14 College Libraries So Stunning You'll Actually Want to Study
14. Joe and Pat Frank Library – Rhodes College, USA
It’s a fairytale in stone. Nestled on a campus that already feels storybook-perfect, this Gothic revival library is all ivy, pointed arches, and sunlit interiors. Step inside, and you’re greeted by warm wood paneling, quiet study areas, and that unmistakable scent of old books and earnest learning. It’s intimate without being cramped, formal without being cold. The building invites slow thinking, deliberate writing, and the kind of academic presence that’s hard to fake. You don’t just study here—you settle in, exhale, and somehow, it all feels less overwhelming.
