Designed by Albert Faus, this simple building is an example of a well-thought, inexpensive, yet very functional community library. It was built in Komsliga Department, Burkina Faso, for the total cost of under EUR 20,000.

The bookshelves are built into the walls. This clever idea lets give the walls more thickness and at the same time liberate interior space. Thanks to that the reading desks, and computer stations can be placed in the center.
