When we hear the word, “library”, a  boring, dark place with dusty books often come to our minds. But not the latest library in Sorsogon State College is very far from that imagery. Even the celebrity fashionista Heart Evangelista is flexing this library on her Instagram account. Let’s take a quick peek!

This library has similarities with those famous international ones

The Pinay actress and socialite proudly showed off online the multi-level library of Sorsogon State College. In her post, you can see that the two-level library features a circular layout. There’s a lot of natural light coming from what appears to be a glass dome. In addition to that, students can focus on their studies quite well since it has enough desk space and proper ventilation.

Also, several followers of the style icon/actress made a comparison of how this library resembles the popular Starfish Library in  South Korea.
