Turku Main Library is the chief branch of Turku City Library, located in the city centre of Turku, Finland.
The Turku Main Library 2,900 m² old building is a Dutch late Renaissance style building, constructed in 1903, built and delivered by Turku commercial counsellor Fredric von Rettig and designed by Karl August Wrede. The designe was based on a Swedish House of Nobility in Stockholm. The first floor was a national library for the working class and the second was the city library for academics. These two libraries merged in 1912 to become Turku City Library.
This library at the time was the third in Finland. Before there was a library in Turku, the only places to get books from a building was in Helsinki and Rauma.

I’m with @liushansen exploring the Green Square library in Australia. I must admit, I order my books by author rather than colour, but you can’t say this doesn’t look great. How do you guys order the books on your shelves?
