An old railway station which turned into a public library in Rumia, northern Poland, has just won the Single Space Design category of the 2016 Library Interior Design Awards. It is the only project from Europe which has been recognized in this year's awards.

That is absolutely fantastic. Nothing more to say, but Poland should be shouting about this from the rooftops - it's exactly how to revitalise old infrastructure for the common good.

Maybe I'm not getting it but the design leaves me somewhat underwhelmed. It looks like a local Empik store

a public library in Rumia
