Bibliothèque Louis-Nucéra, Municipal library in Nice, France.

The Louis-Nucéra library consists of two separate buildings beside the Musée d'art moderne et d'art contemporain on the bed of the Paillon: the library itself and the Tête Carrée, a cubic head by Sacha Sosno that houses the administrative services. Inside, a wide hall with a glossy grey floor holds low wooden counters with glass tops before parallel rows of pale wooden shelves, separated by tall glass partitions with blue circular markings. The ceiling is white and brightly lit, with red vertical panels on the left wall and red and white bands on a far wall.

Inaugurated on 29 June 2002, the Louis-Nucéra library became Nice's central municipal library. It is named after the Niçois writer Louis Nucéra, who died in August 2000. The building stands on the bed of the Paillon, next to the museum of modern and contemporary art, and comprises two separate structures, including the Tête Carrée by Sacha Sosno.

The library is named after Nice-born writer Louis Nucéra, who died in August 2000; a plaque at the entrance quotes his words on the books that accompany a life, with "mots d'océans, de fleuves, de rosée, de forêts". The building also holds a video library, a music library, an exhibition space and an auditorium, so film screenings and concerts take place alongside book lending.

The library stands on the Paillon riverbed beside the Musée d'art moderne et d'art contemporain, with an underground car park for drivers and public transport nearby. It generally opens Tuesday to Saturday, though hours vary by day. The entrance hall holds the counters and glass-topped desks, with the reading rooms and shelves beyond.

La Tête Carrée, the cube-shaped head by Sacha Sosno that houses the library's administrative services, is one of two separate buildings making up the library, alongside the reading building itself. The library opened on 29 June 2002 and is named after the Niçois writer Louis Nucéra, who died in August 2000.
