Celebrities and their Libraries

Some of the celebrity home libraries pictured here are absolutely beautiful and full of books (one with music).  But I will say that my favorites are the less formal and less neat libraries -- they are just much more inviting to me.  I love the libraries of Nigella Lawson and Jimmy Stewart.  And what librarian would not love Keith Richards' place especially after learning he studied the Dewey Decimal system in an effort to organize his book collection!



"We might not always think of rock stars at the bookish sort, but Keith Richards does enjoy a good read when he’s at home in this cozy, octagonal space. He even confessed in his recent autobiography that he’s always had a secret longing to be a librarian, getting some practical training managing the thousands of books in his home collection — even going so far as to learn the Dewey Decimal System!"
