The National Library of Poland has it all-blue sky, freshly manicured grass, colorful, mythic, modern sculpture, and historic architecture There’s good reason for the protection, though: The building was used as a dormitory for Malvern College boys in the Second World War, and tour guides inform visitors that they used to play cricket in this room.

Whether you’re a librarian doing storytimes from your couch or a library fan missing in-person visits, here are eight photos of light, bright, and beautiful libraries to ensure that next time you go on camera, the library’s behind you all the way. For them, services like Zoom that allow photos to be inserted as virtual backgrounds allow the fun option to speak from space, under the ocean-or from the library. But not everyone feels comfortable sharing their private space, especially with larger gatherings that include strangers. With so many staying home right now to flatten the curve of COVID-19, tiny glimpses of others’ lives on web conferencing software can be part of the fun, especially when cute pets and kids-or bookshelves-are involved.
