Lelystad Public Library
Lelystad has a brand new public library. Gone is the dusty image of old books. Drawing influence from the retail world, the library becomes a mall, subjects become 'shop-in-shops'. Users are provided with a shopping basket. Showroom dummies create impulse points wearing t-shirts that inspire, tempt and provoke. The library presents itself to a wider audience…
I'm curious. What are you reading?
Mind your own business, dummy!
