DISCOVERY & EXPLORATION THEMES
What made a library intriguing in the past?
Maybe it was the thousands and millions of books; the exploration and excitement from browsing through books. The eagerness to pick one up and read it. Starting a new journey through literature, again and again.
Current libraries have slowly begun to lose grip of the community engagement. Many people believe libraries are only a resource to borrow books.
On the contrary, it has become more of community hub, a place to ‘discover’ something new. Whether it is something about technology or new book you never heard of, a sense of inspiration to engage the public. An exploration in the library, to discover something new.
