Library of the Left Behind

The Conde Duque hotel in downtown Madrid has added a new library to its mix of guest services. The library consists exclusively of books left behind by hotel guests.

The library currently houses 250 books in a variety of languages.

According to the story “one of the titles that attracts the most attention of visitors to this unusual library is a Spanish translation of Book of Mormon

Other books include “a cookbook with traditional Roman recipes, a title about Michael Jackson’s dance steps, the memoirs of Spanish bullfighter Jose Ortega Cano and handbooks of natural remedies.”

There are also plenty of travel related books and guides in the library. Currently the library works on the honor system and many of these travel books never make it back to the library.
