Changes in people’s habits in seeking information and knowledge have a special impact on people’s behavior when visiting and using the library, this is the problem why recently library visitors have decreased this is because it is easier to access information via electronic devices easier so that it has a direct impact on the library itself. From these problems, this study will discuss how people’s habits and behavior affect the needs of library space in the digital era. The method used by the author is distributing questionnaires to library visitors containing questions about new habits in the digital age, the questionnaire researchers provide options related to new library concepts, namely the application of symbiotic architectural concepts, where libraries have additional functions that are not only a place to find information and knowledge. however, it has additional functions according to the habits of society in the digital age. The results of this study answered that library visitors prefer to do assignments rather than read or look for books and hope that a special room is provided to do the assignment. On the other hand, the symbiotic architectural concept is accepted by visitors with the choice of green open space as another function in the library.
