Guys.I'm a local there and I'll explain a few questions.The bookshelves you see are fake but the books are mainly located at floors above,up to 5 floors.Those floors above provide a cozier place,not the whitish style on the first floor

It's nice architecture, but I would never feel comfortable enough in there to relax and read a book. A library should be a warm, cozy, intimate environment, not a cold, sterile, open atrium.

I don't know if this library is good or bad but from my prepective, seeing a book that's put on shelf that cannot be reached is kinda disrespectful because books are supposed to be read by people and if someone put that book only for decoration it's an insult to the creator. unless the books that's on the unreachable shelf is a Fake book then maybe it's okay.

I don't like modern libraries only the ones with old architecture.

So many people with no imagination or patience is so quick to criticize and judge. This "foyer" of the library is an artistic design which is meant to stimulate people's imagination, the functional part of the library with books for reading is inside the foyer.

I would love to spend my all day in that library

Lovely video

My perfect library has warm orange lights, wooden structures, the smell of old books and quiet.

Why read books when you can climb books

Awesome place

Looks cool, not sure how it will age with time. This video did inspire me to want to visit the US Library of Congress.

When i noticed some books are but fake? Well' It became much less impressive. But.....still very cool! Any place that houses books has my love and appreciation.

Because of a recent visit to Asia l've decide to share my travel experiences in hope of inspiring others to travel and see for themselves... In 1965 I left for Ghana with less than $300 in my pocket; to answer the call from Dr. Kwame Nkrumah to African-Americans, to come and help in the rebuilding of Africa. Five (5) months after my arrival Dr: Kwame Nkrumah’s government was overthrown which was a heartbreakers to many expatriates and caused many changes of plans… And moment of panic for some. As for me, I was adopted by an Ashanti-Paramount Chief, Nana kwaku Duah; Agogo-hene, (1966) and given the name “Kojo Acheampong” than adoptive into one of his sub-chiefs clan, Nana Otteng, and spent the next eleven (11) years in Ghana, often traveling to Togo and the Ivory Coast to market my jewelry, which I carved from cow-horns and ivory (a skill I was taught by traditional craftsmans) after immersing myself in the customs and culture. On my return to the United States in 1976, I was able to contribute to the growing interest in African art and culture. Now in my senior years (86+) and on the suggestion (& insistence) of my adopted family, I’ve decide to take them up on their; “Uncle; you should come back to Ghana and enjoy with us, that which you’ve enable us make possible. “ IT WAS A BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE Details here: www.amazon.com/Curtis-James-Morrow/e/B074TWSKKW?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3&qid=1566355782&sr=1-3 Please enjoy, share and leave comments.

its like a dream come true 😍😍😍

I wanna go there..... to sleep (looks comfortable honestly)

Wow !

Even a failure would top the exam if, he is given as amazing study environment as this library provides.

Damnnnnn ... so niceeee !!!! But where is the tables to do research or doing some works ??

I wish my library in school is like this😢

I want to be a librarian there 😍

Great and neat concept for the shelves👍 It would be even better if it was made with the readers in mind though... I wouldn't want to read here, out in the open with lots of people, unless there's not a lot of people. No privacy, crowded, distractions, not cozy enough to get lost in a book. Unless there were no other people, then maybe I couldd enjoy reading here.

There would be a prospect of having rare books safely up top so with gear you could climb your way there, I would go for that! But then the occasional drop of sweat would not be appreciated below, so maybe a climbing gym idea.

Now you know what future looks like!

Good Luck finding the book you want

What classification system they use to this collections?

I wanna go there and read books it was my dream

I don't think that this type of library is perfect for reading books. It's a tourist attraction. People who love to read books will not love this type of library 🙂Whatever I am from Bangladesh. This library is beautiful and exceptional ❤❤❤

The central library in St. Louis Missouri USA, designed by Cass Gilbert and built in 1907, is much more beautiful and infinitely more impressive. Modern architecture, with cheap material disguised by its use of odd angles and different shapes, is still just that, cheap.
