Library, built in 1999, is a work of important Slovenian architects: Vojteh Ravnikar, Robert Potokar and Maruša Zorec. With it the main public space of Nova Gorica is completed and formed. One side of the building is parallel to the diagonal of Erjavčeva street and is so symbolically completing the axis, which connects the two cities: Gorizia and Nova Gorica.


France Bevk Public Library is bulit as a part of urban public space of Nova Gorica. One side is straightened up with Občinska zgradba and the colonnade seemingly continues all the way to the park. Library is also connected with Slovenian National Gallery, where the motive of collonade, which forms the public space, is repeated. The other edge of the library meets axes of other buildings in the town centre in the same spot of park Travnik. Along with other public buildings it surrounds and constructs the main public space of Nova Gorica.
