The Vancouver Public Library is located next to the hotel I live in. After a day's hiking, the next day I wanted to relax, so I chose to go to the library after breakfast. The library did not open until 11 o'clock on the weekend, but a group of progressives had been waiting at the door for a long time. The building, which resembles the Roman Colosseum, is Vancouver's largest public book system. It contains books, newspapers, audio-visual and microfiche materials, with a total collection of more than 2.67 million. There is a special Chinese preview area. Of course, according to the characteristics of Vancouver's economic development, the books collected here mainly involve music, art, literature, science and technology, language and social sciences. Not much for the financial economy.

    The Vancouver public library is particularly large, and its architecture is quite distinctive, and it is also one of the local landmarks. The library went in and went around a little. There were a lot of people reading books and borrowing books, and the facilities were very complete.

    Like many libraries in Western cities, the buildings of Vancouver Public Library are also very distinctive, and the transportation is very convenient. The supporting dining and coffee shops are also available. The network, recording studio, audio-visual room and other facilities in the library are also the most advanced. I like it very much.

    Vancouver Public Library that imitates the Colosseum of Ancient Rome ❤️ Chinese name: Vancouver Public Library English name: Vancouver Public Library Abbreviated: VPL recommendation index: Vancouver's largest public library, book newspaper ️ the most collected. The most distinctive is its architectural style. The exterior is imitated by the ancient Roman Colosseum. It is visually very impactful. It is shocking. The interior is mostly floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The lighting is excellent. There are a total of 9 ⃣️ floors, each floor has its own characteristics, and each floor has many sofas, seats, The desk is available to readers, and there are sockets everywhere for readers to bring their own laptops to work quietly here. There are also many desktop computers for free for people to inquire about information. There is also an outdoor rooftop garden on the top floor. Although it is not big, it is exquisite. It must be a particularly good address when the spring flowers bloom: 350 W Georgia St, Vancouver, BC, Canada Transportation: Take the Canada line of SkyTrain to Vancouver City Centre Station and get off and walk. ⏰ Opening hours: Monday ~ Thursday 10:00-21:00 Friday, Saturday 10:00-18:00 Sunday 11:00-18:00 Tickets: Free estimated time: 2 hours practical tips1 ⃣️ Visit (people with extremely limited English skills like me don’t be hypocritical to say that they are here to read, it seems that there are no Chinese books here) Be sure to keep your hands and feet light, do not interfere with other readers' library strictly forbidden to eat, some reading rooms are not allowed to bring in drinks. 2⃣️ There are many cafes and small shops in the square on the first floor of the library. You can buy a cup of coffee.☕ Have some desserts. 3⃣️ The library is not far from the famous scenic gas town. You can check in by the way.

    The library is very quiet and comfortable. The door opens at eleven o'clock on weekends. If you arrive early, you can sit outside for a while. People who don't borrow books can still wander around reading magazines without getting a card. There are quite a few noon books, and some reading rooms related to local industries. Unfortunately, there is little financial economy.

    The building resembling the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, is Vancouver's largest public library. It has a unique appearance. It is made up of many cylinders surrounded by a circle, so it has a large area. There are many CD-ROMs and video materials besides the traditional books. The library has a very rich collection of books, which is absolutely worth visiting.
