This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Decorative as in you can’t access the books?

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

There is a keyhole on the right side of the door; I wonder if it is locked, and if so, if OP would be given the key (or at least a specific book) upon request.

I think it was locked. To my shame, I didn’t check. There were about four of them flanking the elevators, so the intention seemed to be decoration.

That could be a fancy door though

free books!

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you have an elbow, theyre still free. Just gotta put a little force behind it.

True, but you’ve gotta really want that Philippa Gregory book…

Koreans love using books to decorate, this is a library inside a mall (COEX Starfield Suwon). Good luck checking out some of those books haha, looks really cool tho.
