Hmm very iconic building indeed. I'm not too sure about "most beautiful". But at least are managing their old structures better than we are doing.

What's the criteria for "top 10", considering not all are ranked by THE?

Well quality of libraries is not part of the criteria used by Times to judge how good a university is. Meaning you can have an iconic library without ranking on times.
