In this era of digitalisation there are still many people who love reading books and have a good number of collection. The love for books also drives many readers to build a small library in their house. But have you ever heard of someone build a personal library that has a collection of 32,000 books? Yes, you heard it right. A picture of the couple's library has gone viral on the internet.
The picture shared on the micro-blogging site Twitter shows a well-maintained library with books neatly stacked on wooden racks
"Our personal library has about 32,000 books. I guess other people bought cars and boats..." wrote Kathleen O'Neal Gear, an American archaeologist and writer on Twitter along with the post.
Since being shared on the micro-blogging site, the post has accumulates over 3 million views and more than 53,000 likes. The post also received several comments.
"I will bookmark this and show it to my sister when she says I have too many books," wrote a user.
"The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of mankind. T. S. Eliot," wrote another user.
"And here I am thinking I have a lot at 3,281. I am in awe. And I know what it is to pack and move them...but TEN TIMES that number? Whew!" wrote a third.
While a fourth wrote, "That looks like paradise to me When I downsized I couldn’t give up my books, so many are sotred in my garage. At least I know where they are!"
