Want to keep the scale a little more accessible or just encourage viewers to #StayHome? Sometimes the best library is the Little Free Library in your own front yard, or a neighbor’s.

The Secret Garden at the UK’s recently built Library of Birmingham is on the roof, offering a view of the city as well as a green getaway. But it’s still a perfect view to park yourself in front of. Out-of-towners are often surprised to discover that this iconic view of Missouri’s Kansas City Public Library is actually the parking structure, not the main building.

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. If you’re worried that the books might escape, the Long Library at England’s Blenheim Palace is for you.

After your meeting you can even take a virtual tour on Google Mapsīut why stay so close to home when miles aren’t an issue? The southern reading room of the National Library of Finland, Helsinki, is a bright beautiful destinationīooks and architecture aren’t the only attraction at the Strahov Library in a Prague monastery – the art on the ceiling is the main event.

The Sky’s the limit at the George Peabody Library at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins University, where six majestic floors are topped with a skylight. Here’s how to turn on virtual backgrounds from Good Morning America. (Don’t worry, library copyright experts-they’re all licensed for reuse!) 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.
