Great idea!
Joan Wickersham describes a public tour of private libraries in Concord, Massachusetts, USA, in her article, On The Shelves, October 7, 2011, Boston.com
This tour featured six libraries, apparently personal ones, and was sponsored by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library This is an idea that could be developed in Vancouver, British Columbia, for sure, and I'd sign up quickly. I'd also love to see a tour developed for local specialized libraries. There's a number of those here.
A tip of my hat to the New England Historic Genealogical Society's The Weekly Genealogist (Vol. 14, No. 42) which mentioned this article.

eicuthbertson's Book Blog - Thoughts on reading, on books or articles or the occasional poem I'm reading, and some shameless promotion of BookCrossing activities! as well as of the authors, books, bookstores, and libraries that I love.
