Rowntree’s Library for Precious Books Part 2 Project 2018 Stephanie Elward University of Kent | UK As a gift to the citizens of York in celebration of the Rowntree legacy, a new public library is to be built, providing a central place for connection, rather than traditional collection. Amidst the lively 21st century library, a network of glistening reading rooms perch upon the landscape, providing a space in which a reader can indulge in the ritual examination of a precious book, requested from the dedicated bibliophiles.
