I  visited the new Minneapolis Public Library earlier this week and took some pictures suitable for blog posting.  The new library is impressive and a wonderful example of how taxpayer dollars can be used to create a public space that is both useful and beautiful.  The ambience is open and inviting, with plenty of windows to fill the interior spaces with natural light.  The children's area is especially well-designed, with shelves built to kid-height and reading chairs that are built for kids to perch themselves alongside a more grown-up reader.

 

I'll post more observations on the library over the weekend, but stay tuned for the first of the photos.
