Photographer's Note
Spring finally comes with its nice colors. Two weeks ago, there were almost no green around this library
Some information from wikipedia:
Lund university library was established in 1666 at the same time as the university and is one of Sweden's oldest and largest. Since 1698 it has received legal deposit copies of everything printed in the country. Today six Swedish libraries receive legal deposit copies, but only Lund and the Royal Library in Stockholm are required to keep everything for posterity. Swedish imprints make up half of the collections, which amount to 170,000 linear metres of shelving (2006). The library serves 620,000 loans per year, the staff is 200 full-time equivalents, and the 33 branch libraries house 2600 reading room desks.
The current main building at Helgonabacken opened in 1907. Before that, the old building was Liberiet close to the city's cathedral. Liberiet was built as a library in the 15th century, but now serves as a cafe.

Bonjour Mickael ,
Un superbe bâtiment , couvert de verdure . Cela doit demander un certain entretien , quand la végétation envahit les fenêtres ... Très beau contraste avec la brique rouge et le ciel bleu .
Bravo
