The story of Selfridges and the Library

I love books. I've always loved them. I spend hours in bookshops and libraries, and the larger the better (which means more books). Thus, I was very very excited to find out that last Friday, Oxford Street's Selfridges among its food hall, beauty stands and endless rails of designer fashion, now has a library.  

With books that is. Lots of books. 15 000 to be exact, ranging from biographies to fairytales to photo-books, all in the Ultralounge space in Selfridges.





Did I mention I'm going to London in two weeks time? :)

And will you be visiting the Selfridges library/reading room?
