After four months of work, “Not Just Library” reopened on Thursday at a new location at Songshan Creative and Cultural Park, previously used as a public bathhouse.
Run by Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI), the library, designed by JC Architecture and landscape designer Wu Shu-yuan (吳書原), aims to provide a space and chill atmosphere for people to “bathe in knowledge through the company of books, sunlight, plants and scents.”

The library not only allows you to borrow books, but also provides a reading area and a venue for design-related exhibitions, lectures, and experiments that extend the “not just” design concept, according to the TDRI.
“Not Just Library” was originally a public bathhouse for women workers. The building, which has a history of more than 80 years, has been transformed into a spacious and bright reading space by a professional design team.
“It’s not just an 83-year-old bathhouse monument, not just a cultural venue,” JC Architecture said, expressing hopes readers will follow the corridor upwards, face the fragrance of books, put aside the disturbance of the outdoors, and enjoy a spiritual bath and the madness of knowledge.

The renovated library is divided into three sections: “Book Bath,” “Bathhouse” and “Outdoor Garden.”
Unlike traditional tables with spacious surfaces and work areas, the “Book Bath” area builds on the image of an indoor bathtub, retaining part of the original interior and creating a platform through which visitors descend surrounded by books. This symbolizes being immersed in knowledge, the institute said.

Maintaining interior details from the Japanese colonial period, the façade of the semi-circular bathtub, the “Bathhouse,” represents a vessel that holds different ideas and thoughts, indicating the library’s potential to develop into a diverse immersive experience in the future, the TDRI said.

The “Outdoor Garden,” formerly a patio where underground steam was released, is now an al fresco reading area where visitors can take a break and get some fresh air.
