Architectural Excellence : It is an eco-friendly Public Mobile Library that brings resources outside of the library’s fixed location to users who otherwise may not get a chance to benefit from them. It also effectively extends the reach of the library’s safe learning and social development areas. Being able to offer library services and experience within a larger area is extremely beneficial for library users and also a great way to activate library non-users.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : Public Mobile Library is designed using the prefabrication system that minimizes construction costs as well as waste.
