A huge former building for trains was converted to a public library in Tilburg, The Netherlands, and it is being called Tilburg’s new “living room.”
All the original rusty beams are still in place, and the building also houses a cafe and a game room. There’s also lots of greenery.
I would go nuts if I worked in a library like this. Mine is in an Historic building, but this is magnificent.
Love how they put a tabletop on this old train base and kept the tracks.
The ceiling on the top floor has a gravity-defying book shelf.
I always wanted cute stuff like this in our Children’s Dept. This is an amazing idea.
