The aim of this study is to clarify the conditions of spatial composition and signs for a legible library, in which each process of wayfinding behavior is thought to coincide with the informational space, from the analysis of wayfinding experiments on finding books at two public libraries. Subjects' routes, their protocol data and generative sentences have been analyzed depending on their cognitive states and route types. As a result, some of the facts about the relationship between the factor of route selection and the informational space are clarified, for instance, the importance of the information in an early stage of the wayfinding to avoid the one by one search.
