The New Yorker’s Bob Mankoff at a recent TED salon. When Mankoff quit psychology school in 1997 to become a cartoonist, he submitted 2,000 cartoons to the New Yorker that year. Of them, 2,000 were rejected. Today, he is the magazine’s cartoon editor.

Pair with the fantastic Fail Safe and Ray Bradbury’s advice on perseverance in the face of rejection.

“Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.” -Ray Bradbury

We put together a list of some of the most beautiful libraries as captured by Instagrammers around the world. For more photos from these architectural wonders, check out their linked location pages below.
