Seattle Public Library

Information Desk in the Seattle Room.

The public access computers.  Huge rooms, hundreds of computers!

I love libraries.  I believe that a good library, and people who use it, are crucial to the continued success of our Democracy.  Only with a well read population can we continue to flourish.

Today, we visited what is possibly the most unique and innovative urban library in the country.  Lauded internationally for its architecture and design, the Seattle Public Library has become a destination for everyone who loves libraries.

When we were there, the library was packed with people, tucked into every corner, working, reading, and researching.

Here are the pictures that I took today in the library.  It's a beautiful building!

Water fountain by the front entrance.

Reading Room on the top floor.  Everyone here asked me to take their picture!  We're all such library nerds!  :)
