I've heard talk about how great this library is and had to see for myself. Not only does it look amazing from the outside but it looks amazing on the inside as well. To top it off, the staff were all really nice and welcoming. You see all kinds of people there and everyone is in their happy place doing their own thing. I definitely recommend this place for people who want to visit because of what they heard or if they just need some quiet time.
All libraries make me happy, especially this light-filled, open and beautiful space. I’ve recently visited the Seattle Room and the ZAPP for research and recommend both, in addition to prowling the stacks and exploring esoteric content. It’s hard/expensive to park and all libraries should be better staffed and open more hours, especially this one!.
Very expansive and impressive public library, with a variety of spaces, presentation theatre, Seattle Room - special collections for local history research, cute store and chocolate cafe. Worth visiting!
