The interest is in the reuse of a large industrial building for public culture, especially when comparing it with the purpose-built theatres nearby. Look at the library as part of that wider change in this side of Aix. Current access is limited to the reception zone, so a visit should not depend on browsing the collection rooms or exploring the full interior.
