The architectural design concept of Shantou Library's new building is as follows: (1) The functional settings of each floor are reasonable and flexible. The design should conform to the long-term vision and pay attention to the expansion of functions. (2) Consider the needs of special readers. Set up books for children and reading rooms for the disabled. (3) Easy to use. The service facilities in the library should be clearly designed for readers to see at a glance, and it is easy to find bibliographic abstracts, checkout counters, terminal information desks, etc. This is an effective measure to guide readers to control books in an open library.

In terms of business area setting, Shantou Library has four characteristics: (1) "all-open-shelf" area design. Different from the "book position" of traditional library buildings, Shantou Library emphasizes people-centered "people-oriented" and creates a reading environment of "people are in books and books are beside people". (2) The "big space" of regional lending places. Facilitate the communication between readers and books and between readers and librarians. (3) The characteristic design of "self-study space". Seven self-study classrooms are spacious and bright with large floor-to-ceiling glass design. The layout design with two separate floors reduces the support of people and the influence of noise. (4) Functions of lecture hall and exhibition hall. Become a place for direct exchange of ideas and academics, and comprehensively improve the public service level of the library.
