Modern libraries came into existence in 1851 when architect Henri Labrouste finished the Biblioth\u00e8que St. Genevi\u00e8ve in Paris. The two-story structure was the first library building with a central heating system and gaslight. Its reading room was open until 10 pm and seated 400 students. The reading room of the British Museum opened in 1857 and accommodated its regulars \u2013 among them Karl Marx \u2013 with an elaborate ventilation system. In 1858, Boston followed with its new public library. Ever since the nineteenth century, libraries developed into social institutions, catering not only for books but also for people. From our present point of view, dedicating a specific space for reading and writing seems obvious and unimportant at the same time. However, rather than a mere engineering of space, library architecture plays a larger role in global cultural history than even library lovers might suspect. (Text: Ulrich Johannes Schneider)<\/p>\n
