The focus of my library is the central space of the stacks and reading rooms (levels). This central space is set at a different axis that the rest of the orthogonal components of the building to distinguish it from the rest of the building in plan. The central space is seen through out all of the plans. Although the central space scales the height of the building, the reading levels themselves change. The central space is interrupted by the impression of the service rooms on the west side. The service rooms are all made from a rectangle that splits when intersected with the central space.

I am not so sure about the circulation. Right now there is an elevator in Northwest corner that connects to pathways that lead to the different service rooms. The entry way is from the retail on the south facade, as well as an entry way that leads straight to the central space in the east facade. There is a staircase that runs the height of the central space in the east facade.
