Libraria Tirana Times Tirana

My inspirational place

""Libraria Tirana Times" is a great place to have a cup of coffee or tea surrounded by books to inspire your creativity or even enjoy a book on a sunny day..."

Libraria Tirana Times is one of those places where I could have my coffee everyday and never get bored. I love having books around me when drinking coffee with one friend or a maximum of two, absolutely no more. Libraria Tirana Times isn't one of those places where you go and have group conversations, particularly during the day. It is a quiet place.

I also love reading at Libraria Tirana Times and at the same time having a long coffee with only myself to keep me company. According to Libraria (and Cafe) Tirana Times article, the code of silence, so strictly observed in western libraries, is also observed in this study-hall style book shop.

Occasionally Libraria Tirana Times changes into a conference room. Different events of national and international importance have been held at Libraria Tirana Times. New ideas, initiatives and projects have been presented there and I love to see that transformation.

In addition, I find Libraria Tirana Times very nice and a quiet place to concentrate when reading and very inspiring when writing, as well a relaxing place when having a coffee. 

Furthermore, after discovering Libraria Tirana Times, I never thought it would be my working place. Surprisingly, I ended up working for more than 2 months on the second floor of the Library, in the offices of Tirana Times newspaper, until I got another job offer closer to my field of interests. Thus, any time I go back there, everybody warmly welcomes me and it feels like home.
