The library is really cool

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on May 24, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

I did manage to spend a little time looking around the Seattle Library this Sunday with Prairie and Hope for their opening day festivities. I think this was the first, and quite likely only, time I’ve ever seen a line to get into a library!

Unfortunately, the downside to hitting it on opening day was that there were just so many people there that it soon became overwhelming, and we soon decided that it would be easier to explore on a later date when it wasn’t as crowded. We made it through the first few levels of the building and really enjoyed what we saw, but it was all just a bit too much to take the full tour. I’ll be heading back as soon as I have some time.

One last picture from the day before I go — me, reflected in one of the building’s overhangs.
