Shanghai's Heping Library shortlisted for top international award

Established in 1927, the IFLA is the most influential international organization in the field of libraries, comprising institutions and academies worldwide.

The Baker & Taylor Public Library of the Year Award is for recognizing the newly built library of the year that is functional, sustainable and innovative.

As Shanghai's first 24-hour park library, Heping Library stands out as a beautiful contextually inspired library with nicely integrated indoor and outdoor spaces. The library is nestled within Heping Park and is programmed in a way that visitors are given the feeling of being in the middle of a garden while visiting the library.
