Abstract
The paper discusses how library architecture has evolved over the centuries on the case study of the extension of the public library in Seinäjoki. Finnish city is also known for the work of Alvar Aalto, who created a civic centre that also became the site of one of the most interesting libraries. Aalto was passionate about this form of use, which accompanied him through various stages of his career. Given that the old building and the new one were built less than half a century apart, it is interesting from a research point of view to compare their architecture, aesthetics and approach to spatial organisation.
