The National Library of France (BNF) is the largest and most modern library in France with a long history and rich collections. Its predecessor was the King's Library established by Charles V, which made great progress under Louis XIV, and later became the National Library of the French Republic. This library belongs to the "Building Library" plan announced by President Mitterrand on the French National Day in 1988. The design plan of 35-year-old young architect Dominique Perrault won the bid. The construction process took nine years, and in 1997, the World Library opened to the public. The National Library of France is composed of a base surrounded by four corner towers, which are 79 meters high. The museum contains 14 million volumes of books and prints (imprimé), in addition to manuscripts, prints, photographs, maps and plans, musical scores, coins, medals, audio materials, videos, multimedia materials, decorations, clothing, etc. All intellectual, artistic and scientific disciplines are presented here in an encyclopedic spirit of inclusiveness. About 150,000 documents enter the collection each year through legal deposit, purchase or donation.

Designed by my favorite architect, Dominique Perot is now president of the French Institute of Architecture. The library is designed like four books, guarding a square land, a little far from the center.
The new library of the French National Library is a comprehensive design building, with a strong sense of space and artistic characteristics, and at the same time meets the needs of readers, there must be a lot of practical design. Inside, immersed in the ocean of books.
The National Library of France is also known as the National Library of François Mitterrand. It is a tall modern building with a collection of tens of millions of books covering all aspects and is definitely a treasure trove of knowledge.
The National Library of France passes through a unique modern style bridge named Simon de Beauvoir Pedestrian Bridge. It is the 37th bridge in Paris. The main body of the bridge is a steel frame structure. The deck is covered with wooden panels. The two high and low steel frames link the banks of the Seine River. Most of the embankments of the Huangpu River in Shanghai are very high. In case of falling water, it is difficult to climb up. The two banks on both sides of the Seine River are high and low. The low bank is basically the same height as the water surface and far from the traffic flow. It is a good place for exercise and running. The bridge is pulled out from the high and low embankments, and the deck joins in the middle. Pedestrians can choose to go to the high or low banks on the other side.
The full name of the French National Library is the Francois Mitterrand National Library, which is a very modern tall glass curtain wall building. It is a treasure house of knowledge and one of the top ten libraries in the world. It is worth visiting. Even if it does not go in, the building itself is worth visiting.
The National Library of France was founded by Charles V, the King's Library, and later became the National Library, with many precious ancient books.
