The New(ish) Patane Library

[elusivek]

So after my haircut in the morning, and then went for a quick pre-lunch lunch, because my manicure booking was at 1pm (salons were closed for 2 weeks due to the COVID scare for a bit, and now that everything's opened, everything is full), I wasn't exactly sure of the timing of busses and all that. I found myself with half an hour to spare when the bus was half-way to my manicure place area. I decided to hop off the bus 2 stops early, and went to see the new(ish) Patane Library.

They refurbished a row of old buildings and it looks pretty chic. In terms of library and books, I do not consider this a real library because there wasn't that very many books. There were just around 8 or so shelves of books, and only 1 shelf for English books. I'm not surprised as that area doesn't have much foreigners living in, and isn't a tourist area either.

They hung up signs of the sorting numbers or category numbers, and everything in English is cramped into the 1 shelf LOL.

But what's really cool about this library is they've kept parts of the original old building and left it as-is, giving it a grungy and cool look.

Aaaaaand, the stuff that I like are the old windows and pipes and trimmings... they made a feature wall of that!

And the rest under the cut will be the remaining photos that... I have no commentary about LOL LOL LOL sorry!

I only saw the Children's Area had this nifty sign, but I didn't find signs for the other areas.

Hope you enjoyed!

The outside does look rather nice. It's good that they've kept some of the original features inside but it doesn't look much like a library there! It's a shame it doesn't have many books but hopefully they're good books at least.
