The amazing Kansas City library
The people of Kansas City were asked to help pick highly
influential books that represent Kansas City. Those titles were included as
‘bookbindings’ in the innovative design of the parking garage exterior to inspire people to utilize the downtown Central Library.
Many find happiness in doing different things. Gardening,
cleaning, cooking, listening to music, participating in or watching sports, and reading add happiness to a man’s life and take away boredom.
However, I take reading as a priority among all activities,
since reading enlightens, educates, provides information, and makes us aware of whatever is going on around us. Just imagine, without reading, how can we follow our career choices?
I have come across many people who mistakenly put
themselves into serious situations, just because they failed to read certain
documents before they signed. While the standard of reading is rapidly
declining, it’s amazing and breathtaking to look at the impact of modern
technology in our library institutions today.
The comfort of stepping into a library
Today, we are witnesses to the architectural technology that
is transforming library projects. Magnificent, attractive modern libraries are
like a magnet, inviting everyone under the comfort of their canopy to read. The
question is, how does a beautiful library entice people to read?
Well, there was a time when readers didn’t care much about
the cover of books. I remember a local song in my country, of which part of the lyrics includes “Don’t mind the body but the engine.” In today’s publishing industry,
designing an attractive book cover is one of the priorities to sell.
It is most likely that people will read your book because
of the attractive cover. Thus, the days of readers not judging the cover of books
are over.
What about a glamorous cover but not an interesting book? This question doesn't seem important to readers who depend on attractive covers to
choose their books.
This week, while reading, I stumbled upon modern architectural
libraries, which stole my heart to the extent that I decided to write this short
feature article to share with readers worldwide.
Reading is defined in many
ways, but I like this: a multifaceted process involving word recognition,
comprehension, and motivation.
In today’s society, where reading determines the career of
everyone, it’s good to see such buildings to encourage more reading
and help those who hate to read to cultivate the habit or talent to read.
