点评:We would easily rate this wonderful library as a "5" as a library, but it's probably closer to a "4" as a trip destination.
The Halifax Central Library is a moderate walk up from the waterfront. It is about 3 blocks inland from the beautiful historic basilica and at one end of one of the nicer shopping districts in Halifax.
This is a very modern structure that is attractive from the front, but view it from an angle from the left side (as you are facing it) and you will see that it is shaped as a series of enormous glass boxes.
Inside is airy and just as interesting. The internal staircases and hallways soar through the atrium. The stacks are attractively done, and there are nice views from the upper levels.
Of course, they have lots of books, but as we were just visiting so we did not sample the collection.
This is an easy place to find, is fun to poke around for 45 minutes or so and the cost is free. From here you can easily see other sites or go shopping.
翻译:就图书馆而言,我们很容易给这家精彩的图书馆打“5”分,但作为旅行目的地,它或许更接近“4”分。
从海滨步行前往哈利法克斯中央图书馆只需适度。它距离美丽的历史大教堂约三个街区,位于哈利法克斯一个较好购物区的一端。
这是一座非常现代的建筑,正面看很吸引人,但从左侧(面向图书馆)的角度看,你会发现它的形状像一系列巨大的玻璃盒子。
图书馆内部通风良好,同样引人入胜。内部楼梯和走廊贯穿中庭。书架装饰精美,从上层可以欣赏到优美的景色。
当然,图书馆藏书丰富,但由于我们只是参观,所以没有仔细阅读。
图书馆很容易找到,花45分钟左右的时间四处逛逛也很有趣,而且免费。从这里您可以轻松参观其他景点或去购物。
