What a beautiful, beautiful library. It's like a fresh breath of springtime. No, really. The self-check machines look like something out of the future. The teen area is separate from the little kids' area (which parents of both age-groups will appreciate). There is a stunning array of fish in a large tank to stimulate the sight sense. The size and magnitude of the collection is pleasantly overwhelming. They sell canvas book-bags for tourists, er, patrons, for around $20. Of course, the money goes back into the beautiful library. Along with this fantastic house of books, visitors may also appreciate the artist gallery, where talent is showcased for the enjoyment of all. There were a few homeless people, as seems to be the case with most (all?) libraries, but even
they had an aura of groundedness. Perhaps it's the sunshine, or the ocean air, or the abundance of greenery. What ever it is, I think this may just be one of the best libraries I have ever visited. Did I mention how beautiful it is?
