[Taiwan] 高雄，市立圖書館總館

當朋友告知我可以去高雄市立圖書館總圖走走時，我其實是很驚訝的，台北能出現一個北投分館，已經夠讓人吃驚了，原來高雄也有個總圖，真是讓人好奇呀！
When my friend told me that I should go to the library, I was so surprised. I never realized that a library in Taiwan can be a spot for a tourist. Taipei has Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch and Kaohsiung has Kaohsiung Public Library.

第一眼看到總館，讓我想起了在地球另一側，位於加州La Jolla的蓋澤爾圖書館，兩者都由整片的落地窗構成了每一層的外牆，也都聳立在一個相對空曠的地方，沒想到當我進入館內後，兩者更加地相像了，總館把供讀者看書的位子都放在每一層的四周，直接利用天光來看書，累了就可以看看窗的風景，真棒，當時我就很喜歡蓋澤爾圖書館這樣的設計，原來在高雄也能有相同的享受，讚！
When I saw the library, it makes me think about the Geisel Library in La Jolla. Just because the ceiling windows on each floor. When I get in, I was so surprised. There are chairs around the windows on each floor just like Geisel Library. Everyone can enjoy the landscape when tired. That's really a good design.

上了頂樓，是一片很不錯的開放空間，可以賞景，也可以在這兒看書，讓我忍不住就在這兒坐了近一個小時，看了半本的小說，真是好享受呀～
When go up to the roof, there is an open space to read and watch for the landscape. I love this library. I spent about one hour to read at the roof. It's really good.

夜晚的圖書館也很美，仍有不少人潮陸續來到圖書館，我覺得，總館真的是來到高雄必來走走放鬆的景點！
In the night, it's still beautiful. If you are a visitor to Kaohsiung, I'll strongly recommend you to come here.
