Video: “The Bookworms of France’s National Library”
France’s National Library in Paris is a haven for both readers and researchers, who silently flick through its 14 million books. France 24 takes you behind the scenes to meet the library’s restorers.

They also work tirelessly to re-condition, strengthen and preserve those works that are simply too damaged to go on display.
