Petite bibliothèque ronde, Children's library in Clamart, France

The library consists of eight interconnected cylindrical structures made of exposed concrete, creating circular rooms with rounded shelves and white walls.

Established in 1965 through Anne Gruner-Schlumberger's sponsorship, the library became a national center for children's books in 1972 under state funding.

The institution serves children from birth to age 12, offering reading sessions, artistic workshops, and cultural programs in collaboration with partners across Île-de-France.

Currently closed for restoration work, the library continues its activities at a temporary location at 3 rue de Bretagne in Clamart.

Finnish designer Alvar Aalto created the interior furniture, combining durability with bright colors in a space devoid of right angles.
