Die Bibliothek The Library La Bibliothèque

A library is not just a collection of books waiting for its users. Libraries are spaces of thought and institutions of ordered knowledge. They reflect the questions of their time and preserve them for future times. They are privileged places of participation in that knowledge to which we ourselves contribute with our books. The concept of the library thus reveals the interdependence of ideal and material culture.
