Which library__________?

Epos

In Norway, many small communities that live on

islands in the fjords are virtually isolated from

the world in winter. These communities are too

small to each have their own library, so, when

the inhabitants of the Hordaland County were

offered a book boat in 1959, Epos was born.

Nowadays, the boat travels to 250 small hamlets

across Norway, bringing books, culture and

entertainment to the people.

Biblioburro

It would be fun to check a mobile library in rural

Colombia. Biblioburro is being operated by Luis

Soriano, a primary school teacher, during his

spare time. Witnessing kids, wearing a genuine

smile each time he visits their villages in rural

Colombia, would surely warm anybody’s heart.

Using two donkeys, Alfa and Beto, to carry loads

of books, Soriano spends four hours on each trip

just to reach those remote places.

Albena Beach Library

Nothing says “summer vacation” like the sun,

sea, sand, and a good storybook, which is

exactly why Herman Kompernas decided to

build a library right on the beach. The library is

quite extensive: it offers holiday goers who visit

the Bulgarian Black Sea resort of Albena over

2,500 books in ten different languages. Guests

can borrow the books at no cost, as long as they

also leave their own (finished) holiday reads

behind for others.

The Boston Athenaeum

Built in 1807, the Boston Athenaeum is among

the oldest and most distinguished independent

libraries and cultural institutions in the United

States. It has one of the unique library names. It

added an art gallery in 1827, began running

yearly exhibitions of American and European

art, and by the mid-1800s found itself not only

at the centre of Boston’s culture scene but also

one of the largest libraries in the US. It hosts

exhibition programmes and even concerts.

Reading Club 2000

Reading Club 2000 started when Hernando

“Nanie” Guanlao thought of a way to honour and

preserve the memory of his parents who

inculcated in him the love for reading. He

gathered his old textbooks and set them outside

his Manila residence to test if the community

would be interested to borrow and read them.

They were. 12 years later Nanie’s library grew to

contain 2,500 books. As an additional service, he

also runs a “book bike” service, where he

delivers books to poor areas in Manila.

Sandro Penna Library

That is not an alien ship you are staring at. It is

not a pink bubble gum candy designed by hello

kitty, either! That is a house of books providing

library services for the people of Perugia, Italy.

The public library is named after the poet Sandro

Penna. It features rose-coloured glass walls

designed to let sunlight in during daytime, and at

night, it creates a rare glow. The architect who

designed it, Italo Rota, made the three-story disc

to exude an appearance of an alien flying saucer.
