Minneapolis by day IV

Now, this is how a library is supposed to be done. Completed in may of 2006, this is now the 4th largest municipal library in the country. Coming soon to the roof of the south wing (on the left in this photo) will be a new planetarium to replace the old one they tore down to build this new library.



What boggles my mind about this place is that all the books and reference materials and computers and so forth that are available to the public are all housed on the right side of the building. The entire left side is offices, meeting and conference rooms, and extra space for future growth.



The next 3 photos are all different angles of the main foyer and it's cool angled roof. It's all very grand in scale and design.
