No matter how you say it, Book Mountain in Spijkenisse the Netherlands is at the pinnacle of library design. On a landscape flat as far as the eye can see, where a bridge over the motorway can pass for a major hill, Book Mountain rises up to say READ! More than a design marvel, the townspeople of Spijkenisse have created a community around their beautiful new library of housing, recreation, and commerce. 

See it for yourself.
