Success! This is a very exciting project and I can see how places like this can engage young people or even older people with literature again.

Especially for activities like reading that lack of motion and make a person feel cold faster (even when temperature isn't too low). So I think the title is quite misleading - it must be a typical library with an open-air space for reading. If so, it's an excellent idea and a quite interesting project. if not, it's a waste of money...down goes the social intervention. Either way the open-air reading place could use a bit more privacy (and isolation...it depends on the traffic) and the re-use of the old facade should be more limited and playful.
