The chandelier from Orrefors was a gift at the inauguration in 1928. It is now cleaned and restored.

Visitors are welcome to the city library during the renovation, but have to accept scaffolding that stretches to the ceiling of the 24-meter-high rotunda.

The library has an impressive collection of approximately 400,000 books.

The rotunda is the library's central book hall. The room is almost completely symmetrical, measuring 26 meters in diameter.
