Calonia library opens at renovated Calonia building on Monday 15th of January, 2018. We visited the library and saw its new look.
We go through the old main door of Calonia library. Now the library proper has moved a bit further, which has opened up space for a new 24/7- study area.

There’s a plug for every student
Keys for these locked closets can be borrowed from the library
Rooms for more private study are also available
The library proper begins after this door
We enter the library through its new main door. Our eyes are at once stunned by the glowing light reflected from all the white surfaces.
Small green chairs lead the customer deeper into the Calonia Library
Green is the primary colour in the new furniture

A significant novelty in Rotunda is the arc-shaped sofa, with seats both inside and outside.
