Public libraries are instrumental in the social and cultural development of any community. A
divisional public library should aim to be inviting to serve the division as a whole, while maintaining
the functional integrity of a public building. A massive decline in the use of public libraries in the
last two decades is a problem that is caused by technological advancements in the field of
information and data accessibility. This project aims to tackle this problem by focusing on the public
character of the library, which in turn will invite more people into the library function itself. The
paper also deals with the shifting nature of the public library in terms of the facilities it aims to
provide to its users. By implementing design decisions generated from the context of the city of
Rajshahi, this project aims to contribute to the overall development of the city and the people living
in it.
