Hjorring Public Library in Denmark
Last Updated: September 9, 2009 - 3:49pm — Kate
This library incorporates some incredibly cool ideas for a public library. If nothing else, the design is fantastic. The red "ribbon" is eye-catching, and who doesn't love a library that has a slide? My favorite part, though, is the pre-shelving area where patrons check in their own items and pre-shelve them, thus giving them some knowledge of and stake in their library while also allowing them (and other patrons) to browse what other people are reading. Check out the cool pictures and other info at: http://karmatrendz.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/hj%C3%B8rring-library-by-bosch-fjord/

Wow!
Kate! Wow! This library is so pretty it gave me the chills! I think that visually it's awesome that customers can walk into a pretty security gate: http://karmatrendz.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/hj%c3%b8rring-library-by-bosch-fjord/hjoerring_03/#comment-1033
A neat cost cutting measure to consider would be how much time and cost would it be to arrange the library to allow that check in and presorting mechanism, because some patrons would love it!
