Kulturmagasinet, Public library in Sundsvall, Sweden.

Kulturmagasinet is a library housed in a carefully restored warehouse building in Sundsvall, providing the community with access to knowledge resources and media collections. The facility offers public computers, free WiFi, and two meeting rooms with different capacities.

After the 1888 fire that destroyed much of Sundsvall, four harbour warehouses were built in the 1890s in the Skonerten, Barkassen, Briggen and Kuttern quarters for the city's colonial-goods merchants, designed by architect Sven Malm. Their upper floors stored flour, sugar, spices, coffee and dried fruit brought by boat and later rail. In the early 1980s a conversion programme began, Magasinsgatan was glazed over, and Kulturmagasinet opened in November 1986, receiving the Europa Nostra prize in 1987.

The four warehouses are named after ship types — Skonerten, Barkassen, Briggen and Kuttern — a nod to Sundsvall's maritime trade. Since 1986 the complex has housed the city library, the museum and Medelpadsarkiv under one glass-roofed street, Magasinsgatan.

The facility welcomes visitors of all ages and offers special advantages for older people and those with limited mobility through its book delivery service. You can spend time flexibly on site and make use of the available infrastructure including computer stations and work spaces.

The Boken kommer service delivers books directly to residents who cannot visit the library due to age or health conditions. This program demonstrates how the institution extends access to reading materials beyond its physical walls.
