Celebrating Herzog & de Meuron's iconic new National Library of Israel, this book takes the reader on a journey that transcends stone and mortar to explore the importance of libraries in our fastpaced Digital Age. The book features original short stories, paintings, photographs and comics by some of the world's leading authors and artists.

This volume celebrates the culmination of a visionary 30 year project to renew the National Library of Israel led by Yad Hanadiv - the Rothschild Foundation: Herzog & de Meuron's architectural icon in the heart of Jerusalem. It invites readers to think of the library as a public space, as an object, a concept and a spiritual entity. The book includes original stories by leading authors from Israel and abroad, artwork by Zoya Cherkassky, photographs by three outstanding Israeli photographers and a graphic novella by Rutu Modan. Published in conjunction with: the opening of the National Library of Israel, designed by Herzog & de Meuron
