The Library

   
  So I got this email asking about the library with glass floors. YES. The library really DOES have glass floors! I'd never seen anything like it. The library itself is in a building built in 1900. Although the library didnt open until 1902

                

             And this is what it looks like now:

                             

   It seems HUGE on the outside, but on the inside...not so much:

                                           
     This is the lobby. The library is only on the bottom floor of the lobby, and the side wing of the bottom floor. The Board of Education  takes up most of the rest of the building. Just above the stacks in the background is the glass floor of the upper section:

 

                                                                  
I know, weird, huh?? The cool thing is that in the middlish of the stacks, back against the right hand wall and directly under this glass monstrosity is the teen sections, complete with fairy lights, tables, a video game console ( you would think that would defeat the purpose of them being in the LIBRARY) and rocker chairs for the games:

                                
                 But the second best thing about this library is the views from the upper windows!

See that park? Isn't it GORGEOUS?? I love that park. I've always wanted to live in a city with big beautiful parks and historic architecture. They have awesome street fairs and performances at the museum you can just see beyond the trees. And directly across from the park is the senior facility! So the park even comes with old people feeding the birds!! 

  You want to know the absolute BEST thing about the library ( I mean besides the fact its a library, and there are books, and the neat architecture and the glass floors)?

                                               
     *sigh*  Man I miss that town....
