Sture Bibliotek (via Åsa)



Surprise bag / Idea bag (via Åsa)

Östermalmstorg, exit Stureplan/Birger Jarlsgatan. Perfect location.

Policy-makers who are sitting on the financial and culture resources are hanging in the area. Of course, it's not the point to priorisize them, but maybe reaching them is not a bad idea. Works like an ad for them. Library ad. 

Sture bibliotek is specialized in newly released most popular swedish and english books. Freshest books not yet even discovered by you. T-Sture's design drivers has been accessibility and infomality. En route library.

You are allow to carry your lattes and other take aways with you. Architects Thomas Eriksson and interior designer Cecilia Andersson took care of the spatial design and made this horse shoe shaped space work for you. Mirrors and easy chairs.  

There is a media jukebox to download voice books, films, language courses or kids' games direct to your mp3 player or usb memory. 

Always nice with places with no entrance fee in downtown!  

This Subway Library is happening in Stockholm now. T-Sture opened its doors in May this year. City of Stockholm is taking the whole Library conceptual thinking to the new levels. This is just an one examle/result of their great brainstorming how to reach new library people, new target groups. 

Quite opposite thinking dominates in Helsinki. -5 libraries.
