A castle full of books

I want to pose on these stairs in a costume...

Yesterday I decided to go to the library to study since the kids were having a crazy sort of day. Up until then I'd only seen it from the outside and it looked appropriately Duke-ish (which is to say there was a definite castle-y Hogwarts sort of vibe), but the little foyer I stepped into really surprised me. It is so pretty!

The rest of the library was quite nice as well (and much more modern!) with a lot of different areas for studying. It was also incredibly quiet, which was fantastic and surprising given how many people were there.

But yeah, I just had to share these pictures because Duke is gorgeous.
