Cool library is not an oxymoron. Take a look at this beauty -- it's the Kansas City Public Library. This is the OUTSIDE of the library building.
Here are two more views of the building...

I think I've seen this before. So cool! I love a good library. There's something so great about cracking open a book and smelling the paper and holding it in your hands. I don't buy a lot of books, so I'm grateful to have a library close by.
ReplyDeleteHeh. They tried to do something like that here, but it's not quite as nice... http://assets3.razoo.com/assets/media/images/000/075/357/images/size_550x415_MainLibrary.png
ReplyDeleteWell, I live outside of KC. This is actually the exterior of the parking garage for the main library in downtown KC. I should use it some time for a backdrop for some photos.
ReplyDeleteThat's really awesome. I miss my library experiences. Whenever I wasn't volunteering in one, I was studying in one after school. There's nothing like the smell of old dusty books or freshly printed ones. Sage is right. I tend to buy more books these days thanks to both my Nook and pre-orders for print. My local library isn't convenient for my schedule or reading needs (2 books versus the ~25 in the Nashville library system)
ReplyDeleteI love books and libraries! I watched Beauty and the Beast today and at the part where Beast takes Belle to the library as a surprise, I realized that I would probably cry out of joy if someone gave me a library like that. Oh boy, if I ever get rich...
ReplyDeleteawesome!!! love this! :)

omg! This is the coolest library ever! Man, Oak Park's library is just now gettin renovations, it has been the same since the 80's. Ferndale's library is cool, they have plants growing on the roof. I kind of want to live in this library though, it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNo way! My inner English nerd is spazzing right now.
