《图书馆》内容简介

　　从古亚历山大图书馆到数字时代的图书馆，从泥板、羊皮纸、莎草纸到没有书籍的阅读；历经几个世纪才建成，也可能在一天内被摧毁；装饰着金箔和壁画，或者装满了豆袋椅和儿童绘画——“图书馆”这个文化意象仿佛一触即碎，又惊人的坚韧与长久。

Brief introduction to the contents of the Library

From the ancient Library of Alexandria to the library of the digital age, from clay tablets, parchment, papyrus to reading without books; It took centuries to build and could be destroyed in a day. Decorated with gold leaf and murals, or filled with beanbag chairs and children's paintings - the library is a cultural image that shatters at a touch, yet is surprisingly resilient and enduring.
