Book Mountain, Bibliotheek Spijkenisse, near Rotterdam, The Netherlands
- Title: Book Mountain, Bibliotheek Spijkenisse, near Rotterdam, The Netherlands
- Creator(s): Dawson, Robert, 1950-, photographer
- Date Created/Published: [2016]
- Medium: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color.
- Summary: Photo shows the interior of a public library in The Netherlands. From the library's website (2023): "Book Mountain is a monument to the power and pleasure of reading. Its visibility and inviting presence is significant in a community with a 10 percent illiteracy rate. Located in the centre of Spijkenisse, the 9.300m2 library takes pride of place on the market square, facing the historic village church from which it appears as a vast mountain of books--Spijkenisse's Book Mountain. In addition to the library, the building houses an environmental education centre, a chess club, an auditorium, meeting rooms, commercial offices and retail space. The pitched roof references traditional Dutch farmhouses, a reminder of the town's agricultural heritage erased by 40 years of expansion." MVDRV is the architect. The building opened in 2012.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.
-
Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will
be visible on the left.)
-
Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
-
No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
-
-
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that
a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
-
Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
-
No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
-
-
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.
To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
