Abstract

Libraries remained preeminently public spaces. The internet’s proliferation and the interference of the virtual space into the real public one led to the Mediatheques’ birth, as an alternative to traditional libraries. A counteraction consists of library arrangements in nonconforming places, attractive by the uniqueness of their ambient, but these still address to a niche sector. A dual library equipped both with printed book stands and multimedia support, attractive and interactive, arranged in a nonconforming place, having a well-established theme can become an attractor in the public space through its enlarged addressability.
