My library of the future

To start describing what my future library would look and be like I want to star defining what it’s my concept of a good and nice library. To me a library is a place where you can sit and relax, like in a peaceful environment, and enjoy your thoughts, read, check your email, whatever. But the key concept is the silence that you can experience putting aside all the acoustic contamination out there. So that’s the atmosphere I would like to promote in my future library, a library that’s very calmed and where you can be serene for a while.

This library it will be located in the very center of Santiago (where there’s a lot of noise preferably) so it can be like an escape of all that stress for people there. The main physical characteristic that this library will have are it’s noise insulating walls. Also it will have many windows so the place can be well lit (the windows are also soundproof) and a lot of plants and bonsais for people to breath fresh air for a moment putting aside all the smog out there (you know cause plants can actually do that). There will be one big area for people to chill in but also some divisions if people want some privacy to do their stuff.

In terms of technology equipment, the library will have devices for its users to use freely around the area and also they can connect their own devices to the wifi connection. And in terms of the material included there will be a variety of books and magazines you can found there, focused primarily in the area of Social Sciences but also a lot of other topics like hard sciences, cooking, and self-help. The library hours will be Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm, and weekends from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

My idea of a future library is not so focused on technology advances because after all I have to have a job, right?

Thanks for reading,

That’s all . . For now :)
