Abstract
Library of the University of Lodz through its enlargement had a chance to become a library
where readers have direct access to the collections. Its modern organizational, technological and
architectural solutions were presented in the drafts. Thanks to them, two buildings were combined into
one high-tech element. What is more the number and quality of services were increased. There is no
doubt that the new library space is clearly aimed at the reader. Reader’s needs determine the direction
of changes.
