Bucharest, Romania
Central University Library
Thirty years after its founding, the University of Bucharest inherited this library which quickly grew from 3,400 volumes to over two million books and periodicals.
In the late 19th century, New York’s old Croton Reservoir was torn down, with the idea that its replacement would quench a different kind of thirst. Over one hundred years later, the spot is home to the fifth-largest library in the world, serving as the main hub of knowledge for the American metropolis, and lion statues.
