Man… that’s beautiful. The library I go to is pretty much a hollowed out cinderblock, but I still spend an afternoon there a few times a week. I’d be an addict if browsing the stacks and reading meant I’d be surrounded by this kind of architecture.

If you ever get up North the Helsinki Central Library may not be quite as striking as this but is very welcoming, modern, bright, full of light and user friendly.

I have a thing for libraries as well.

I love Traverwood as it’s my nearby library today and I go 2-3 times a week – I even biked a few times in the summer, but it is quite small and I tend to use it to pick up reserves from the whole AA library system and even from all Michigan.

Below is my former library in Greenburgh, NY which was 5′ walk from my house there. That was impressive.
