The “mountain of books” is  enclosed inside another pyramid whose barn-shaped structure reminds  people of the towns agricultural past, which has grown from a farming  village to self-sufficient educational and commercial center in the past  40 years. The Book Mountain is visible from all sides through its glass  façade pyramid building which is illuminated from within serving both  as an advertisement and an invitation to reading, which holds great  significance for a community where only 10 percent of the population is  illiterate. Besides the library, the building houses an environmental education  center, a chess club, auditorium, meeting rooms, commercial offices and  retail, which are located on the lower half of the glass building. The  library occupies the terraces area so as to take advantage of the light  and space provided by the glass roof. In an effort to cut  generation of greenhouse gases, the building is without air  conditioning. In summer natural ventilation and sun screens result in a  comfortable indoor climate. In winter under-floor heating and double  glazing maintain a stable interior environment. Even the bookshelves,  banister, parapet, information desks and bars are made of recycled  flowerpots making them simultaneously fireproof and economic. The Book Mountain was designed by Dutch architects MVRDV, and opened to the public in 2012. Its innovative design has won numerous architecture awards. <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-R6UfO8eCYNw/Vl630EzJwCI/AAAAAAABJQ8/ZtedYTOY_NU/book-mountain-spijkenisse-6%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UXfhnET6_ck/Vl631DJq6xI/AAAAAAABJRA/2Im21KbqR0Y/book-mountain-spijkenisse-1%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_J0z5UA2m5w/Vl632cHS5UI/AAAAAAABJRE/Vdsp9rWqSUY/book-mountain-spijkenisse-3%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xH875S333WE/Vl634UvulgI/AAAAAAABJRM/IgQ4OMjG5lw/book-mountain-spijkenisse-15%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RXioSHLktQA/Vl635gUlD-I/AAAAAAABJRQ/guUSjJzI2qk/book-mountain-spijkenisse-16%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-argkhDzoL08/Vl6367DXeXI/AAAAAAABJRU/R3LZUW-vRs0/book-mountain-spijkenisse-17%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Wnp94vp23tA/Vl638Alu1PI/AAAAAAABJRc/Haa9weElqmY/book-mountain-spijkenisse-9%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HISD1szLos4/Vl639u1_5bI/AAAAAAABJRg/a1PtQdl31uc/book-mountain-spijkenisse-10%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Gp4dz78ieAw/Vl63-37jNoI/AAAAAAABJRo/EJZA0Bgvu7E/book-mountain-spijkenisse-11%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O3MACBTEVhI/Vl63_7vf1gI/AAAAAAABJRw/SDt-D1RqfTA/book-mountain-spijkenisse-12%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jg7ewF3uy1s/Vl64BC8PoRI/AAAAAAABJR0/s_ghmxQxrXc/book-mountain-spijkenisse-8%25255B14%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VcaVCPVQSw0/Vl64CdAkz8I/AAAAAAABJR8/ih5OCkjmc7E/book-mountain-spijkenisse-5%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uXjgmbAAazM/Vl64Dx3fx0I/AAAAAAABJSE/q79QVBRiiHk/book-mountain-spijkenisse-7%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hcEvtgbWOD4/Vl64FWtukCI/AAAAAAABJSI/AVrDSyYMaoQ/book-mountain-spijkenisse-13%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U_LUb1Ak_nA/Vl64G4LwswI/AAAAAAABJSQ/Fe2gRppdUYQ/book-mountain-spijkenisse-14%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
