In the center of the whole complex is a common space connecting the two floors with a wide staircase, which in addition to typical communication functions are the place for a quiet browse the library.

For safety reasons children on the ground floor children's space was provided with extensive leisure facilities in the form of a curiously formed multifunctional furniture. The interior of the library is fairly fluid spatial layout of giving at any time the possibility of rearranging adjusting place at a specific target. With this multi-functionality of the library in addition to its primary function it gives you the chance to organize any kind of meeting, events.
