SFO Aviation Library and Museum

It's a semi-secret haven inside San Francisco International Airport. Opened in 2000, the SFO Aviation Library and Museum, in the southeast corner of the International Terminal, replicates the look of the airport's original terminal building from 1937. Private carrels are available on the upper mezzanine for reading and relaxing.
