Book Mountain isn’t designed to be just a library, it’s also the center of a new neighborhood concept. It is part of a larger campus that includes 42 social housing units, parks, retail and office spaces. The Book Mountain library is an attraction in and of itself, something to bring in the local public to explore this one-of-a-kind temple of the written word. It’s an exciting development, one that we’d place up there with what we consider to be the most beautiful book store in the world, the Boekhandel Selexyz Dominicanen in nearby Maastricht.
