wrong picture...

The second picture is the reading room of the bibliothèque nationale in Paris (also by Labrouste). Somebody has mistaken a library for another... user:Coyau friday 10/14/2005

Interior

A picture of the interior should definitely be added, as it showcases the achievements in architecture that Labrouste gained while designing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jowerkatz (talk • contribs) 04:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article text

The text seems to consist mostly of an English translation of the "History" section on the library's website. While I do think that using information from that page is important, I think that there are better ways to write the article than to merely translate the entire webpage. -2A01:E35:8B2F:B450:E881:8F07:90B4:9D25 (talk) 09:24, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Salle de lecture Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve n03.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on October 26, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-10-26.

Picture of the day

The reading room at the Sainte-Geneviève Library, a public and university library in Paris which contains around 2 million documents, including the collection of the Abbey of St Genevieve. The building was designed by Henri Labrouste and completed in 1850. Its 17-by-80-metre (56 ft × 262 ft) reading room, which reaches 15 metres (49 ft) in height, is noted for its slender cast iron structure.Photograph: Marie-Lan Nguyen
