Day 4 | Genk: public library

13-9-2017
Good practices

• The staff rooms! Often forgotten during library visits – but not in Genk! We had the opportunity to visit the workplaces of the library staff.  Very basic, but efficient, and with a very nice natural light: it looked like a nice place to work. The lack of luxury proved to be a deliberate choice: the ‘cheaper’ the staff rooms, the more investment was possible in the public part of the library. A good example of knowing your priorities! ​
  
• The concept of the entrance hall, with a giant chess game. 
  
• The possiblity to pay your library fines later on.
