Kütüphane Troleybüs, Historic library in Beyazıt, Turkey
The Kütüphane Troleybüs stands as a two-story stone building with industrial architecture elements near Istanbul University in the Beyazıt district.
Built in 1912 as a power station for Istanbul's trolleybuses, the structure operated until 1984 when the city discontinued trolleybus transportation.
The building now houses 20,000 books and serves as an educational center, connecting the industrial past with modern learning needs.
Located next to Istanbul University's walls, this public library provides students and residents with reading spaces and research materials.
The transformation from a trolleybus power station to a library preserves the original industrial architecture while creating a new educational purpose.
