The Beautiful and Very Unusual Seattle Public Library





Any Everhart visit to a new city is not complete without a trip to the library. Seattle's is a wonderful diamond. The outside is angles of glass and metal - mostly glass. Inside - is a mixtures of glass shelves - lighted surfaces - bare metal - and vast open spaces.

Nancy likes to judge libraries that we visit by seeing if they have one of her books on their shelves. You can tell by Nancy's smile - she was happy with this place.

Escalators - large plain graphics - and tons of black computer terminals pull the theme together. But the best part of this library was the patrons' use. There were crowds of people enjoying the building and it services.

The last picture is of the Library Bistro - a restaurant near the library. Of course - guess where we had lunch?
