Ashiya City Library, Municipal library in Ashiya, Japan.
The Ashiya City Library spans three floors plus a penthouse, featuring two inner gardens and a patio that allow natural light throughout the building.
Established in May 1949, the current library building was completed in 1987 by Sakakura Associates Architects and Engineers, covering 3,007 square meters of floor space.
