And it sounds good conceptually, as well. Library isn't dead, on the contrary. It is still the hub of information and knowledge. The new library building is like a new interface to the collections and the professionals who organise and search those collections (that themselves are often virtual, or virtually accessible, but still concrete, space-taking, fragile, and in need of loving care). While still a place for silent meditation, and first and foremost a public personal space, the social aspects of life and new demands for such a meeting place/common living room are changing the requirements for what a good library space should be like. This looks like a good effort to meet those demands. That looks great. And it sounds good conceptually, as well. Library isn’t dead, on the contrary. It is still the hub of information and knowledge.
