创意图书馆世界之最
9. Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)
Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the racks and settle down with a new book, or use roving libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.
Libraries are usually known for their quiet atmosphere, but this one encourages conversation. Pritzker Prize-winner Shigeru Ban designed the library with space-age, free-standing soundproofed pods to respect those who need uninterrupted study, while also being conducive to other methods of learning; they serve as perfect spots for study groups and lively discussions.

5. Beach Library (Albena, Bulgaria)
To combat low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's nomadic people. Currently the service focuses on children, but with more funding they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the titles they carry.
骆驼图书馆服务(东北省,肯尼亚)
Along the south wall of this parking garage's exterior, visitors are treated to what looks like a huge shelf of books. The building originally served as a bank, which is readily apparent when the library has screenings in its Vault Theater, inside an actual 1925 bank vault.
麦考里大学图书馆(悉尼,澳大利亚)
A stunning combination of cuttingedge and sustainable, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to emulate the look of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.
堪萨斯市公共图书馆(堪萨斯城,美国密苏里州)
Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy nooks for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children's room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty perches above.

成蹊大学图书馆(东京,日本)
有些图书馆以独特的建筑外观吸引游客在书架间探索、专心阅读一本新书,或通过流动图书馆服务,将书籍带给不便于到馆的读者。无论方式如何,这些别具一格的图书馆都让阅读的魔力经久不衰。
Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library designed by Eun Young Yi is characterized by its stunning whiteon-white color scheme (lit by blue light at night), its bold cubic shape and its cavernous interior. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and patrons can borrow artwork as well as books.
Known as the mega library, the interior of this library is more akin to a massive storage facility than a library. The open interior has towering flooring of open grates that create a labyrinth effect, and surrounds the “Matrix Mobile” by Gabriel Orozco – a sculpture transformed from the skeleton of a gray whale. The exterior is surrounded by almost 6? acres of lush gardens devoted to plants endemic to Mexico.
3. Stuttgart City Library (Stuttgart, Germany)
这座9层的公共图书馆于2011年对外开放,由建筑师李恩永设计。建筑通体呈白色(夜晚打上蓝色灯光),令人称叹,其立方体结构醒目,内部空旷,颇具特色。该馆是斯图加特市的文化中心,让人感到宽敞亮堂,四个方向皆有入口,人们既可以借书,也可以借艺术品。
1. Kansas City Library (Kansas City, Missouri)
为了提高肯尼亚沙漠地区的识字率,政府建立了一个由9头骆驼组成的移动图书馆,将书籍送到村庄。图书馆每周有4天的时间为该地区的牧民服务。目前,这项服务的重点是儿童,但随着资金的增加,他们计划延长距离、增加书目。

8. Seikei University Library (Tokyo, Japan)
Reading a book on the beach is a classic, and in Bulgaria, one library encourages tourists to do just that. The white, weather-resistant shelves lined up not far from the surf feature 6,000 books in 15 languages so every visitor can find the perfect beach read to enjoy while soaking up the sun's rays.
