A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. What can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants.

- Doris Lessing

Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, Paris, France. This public and university library is tucked away in the Latin Quarter of Paris near the Panthéon.

It is based on the collection of the Abbey of St Genevieve, which was founded in the 6th century by Clovis I, the King of the Franks. The collection of the library was saved from book destruction during the French Revolution.  A new reading room for the library, with an innovative iron frame supporting the roof, was built between 1838 and 1851 by architect Henri Labrouste. It contains more than two million documents and was the inspiration for the Boston Public Library.
