In A Bookworm’s Paradise: A Cozy Neighborhood Library In The Czech Republic

Would you like a cozy little place to read books for hours? The inhabitants of a small village in the Pelhřimov district of the Czech Republic are lucky to have just such a place. The Neighborhood Library, or Sousedská knihovna in Czech, is a spot where everyone can borrow and exchange books and, most amazingly, stay there to read them.

While little libraries in public places are common in the Czech Republic, this one takes book exchange to a completely different level. Unlike other similar locations, it’s not just a box or a few shelves but a whole building equipped with everything a bookworm might need. The cozy little house is furnished with a table, a chair, and, of course, bookshelves full of books. Moreover, decorations enhance the experience, making the time spent there even more enjoyable. It’s also worth mentioning the beauty of the interior—furniture is tastefully painted and adorned with some ornaments. All this together turns the little library into a truly cozy place where you could spend hours. The only downside is that it’s located near the bus stop—who knows how many people have missed their bus, unable to leave such an amazing place?

The most interesting places are unknown ones. That's why I prefer to step off the beaten track and go where nobody has been before.Off the Beaten Track is a page about unusual and abandoned places. These are once great sites which today are forgotten, weird ones stucking in mind for a long time, or so remote or hidden that only locals know them. The mentioned places do not appear in travel guides, some of them are even not marked on maps. But, despite this, these sites are worth to visit—just in order to see something completely different from everything that you have seen before and realise that not everything has been discovered yet. Check them out on my website https://stepoffthebeatentrack.com/ and Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/stepoffthebeatentrack/
