introduction:

Library buildings are treasures of our human civilization. From the existing classical library buildings, we can feel and experience the unique artistic styles and architectural functions presented by these buildings.

To display the architectural styles and features of classical library buildings constructed by various countries and nations, the IFLA Library Buildings and Equipment Section suggested Shanghai Library to be responsible for the editing and publication of the book Classical Library Buildings of the World, based on the book New Library Buildings of the World.

In August 2005, an editorial board was established, with Dr. WU Jianzhong as Chief Editor. The editorial board invited experts from IFLA and China to be its members, and Mr. Stephen Parker as advisor of the board. The editorial board has made a selection of library buildings after a survey of classical library buildings all over the world and has finally decided to include 47 libraries from 22 countries.
