Mölndal City Library, Public library in Mölndal, Sweden.
Mölndal City Library is a public library in Mölndal with two floors connected by a central staircase and extensive glass facades that allow natural light to fill the interior spaces. The building features distinctive tent-like structures that create separate zones within the open layout, along with specialized shelving systems designed for different types of media.
The library relocated to its current location as part of Mölndal's urban development strategy to serve the growing population in the municipality near Gothenburg. The move provided a modern facility designed to meet the evolving needs of the expanding community.
The library serves as a gathering place for the local community, hosting regular meetings, presentations by local authors, and programs that bring people together across different backgrounds.
The library offers clear layout and good lighting throughout, making it easy for visitors to find resources and navigate between different sections. Study spaces and reading areas are spread across both floors, providing comfortable places for visitors to spend time learning or browsing.
The tent-like interior structures create an unusual spatial quality within the open layout, breaking away from the typical rectangular design found in most libraries. These architectural elements divide the space in subtle ways, giving each area its own distinct character.
