Item description from seller

Ex Library. Improbable Libraries: A Visual Journey to the World's Most Unusual Libraries by Alex Johnson, published in 2015, is a captivating exploration of some of the most unique and unconventional libraries around the globe. Through a collection of photographs and narratives, Johnson showcases libraries that defy traditional architectural norms, highlighting their creativity, history, and the stories behind their existence. The book features a diverse array of libraries, including: Architectural Marvels: Libraries housed in repurposed structures, such as a former church or a converted train station. Remote Locations: Libraries situated in isolated or unexpected places, like a floating library or one built into a mountain. Innovative Designs: Spaces that challenge conventional library layouts, incorporating elements like open-air reading areas or modular shelving systems. Each library is presented with high-quality images and accompanying descriptions that delve into its unique features, the inspiration behind its design, and its role within the community it serves.
