A repost from my Facebook. Original November 20, 2015
Built on the site of a former Carnegie Library, the Seattle Central Library is a wonder of architecture. This line from the Wikipedia article on the library sums it up perfectly.
“The architects conceived the new Central Library building as a celebration of books, deciding after some research that despite the arrival of the 21st century and the “digital age,” people still respond to books printed on paper.”
Definitely one to add to the “must” visit list.
