The library is part of the Binhai Cultural Center’s five central attraction, located in Binhaixinqu, Tianjin, China.
This project went from preliminary drawings to its doors opening within three years, 2015-2017. "One interesting thing about this library is that it doesn't have the formal ground rule of library in which everyone has to stay silent and be calm for to just focus in reading. The thing is that, it gives people to have a public place which they can have freedom. That is why even if there are some events happening near the library the library will be opened and give the service as usual."

"Aside from loaning books this library also offers services such as taking soft copy of the book and downloading other information or documents that you need. As you walk near the book shelf you may also notice a lot of small holes on the wall of book shelves, these holes purpose is to prevent all kind of sounds from bouncing around and coursing echo."
