The library houses Kafka's personal collection of books. Check out more information on the Society Center and more pictures of the space (including sketches and plans at dezeen. Via: dezeen.

"Put za candle back!"
OK -- I need some of those rotating bookshelf things to deal with mine. Love my books. Sometimes hate having them all out in the open.
Beautiful!
Does anyone know a good carpenter around New York City that can build shelves like these (not the swiveling ones and all that jazz... don't have THAT many books).
LOL - Melinda!
