Imagine stepping into a book-house that's not just a building full of books but a unique and awe-inspiring place. From libraries floating on boats to those hidden underground, the world is full of unusual libraries waiting to be explored. These extraordinary places offer more than just a quiet spot to read; they provide a journey into creativity, history, culture and innovation.

Creating this thread to explore some of the most unusual libraries around the globe, each with its own fascinating story and charm. Ever came across one that you instantly added to your future travel itinerary? Do post here.

Starting with my #1 - that's been on my mind since forever, is Tête Carrée - an art of a monument that means 'thinking inside the box'. Roughly 100ft tall and overlooking a sprawling garden, this is a reader's paradise.

If you ever plan a trip to Nice, keep aside a few hours to visit this marvel!
