tour of the library by Laurel Fan

My two mentees and I got here late for a tour we were taking for the rest of the group. We stopped at the front desk and asked if they knew where they were. They called security to attempt to locate the group on the cameras, but couldn’t find them.

So we started on our own colorful high speed tour of the library, looking for the rest of the group — rising through the disembodied lips escalator and the plasticly glowing stacks to the starry rooftop. We finally found them in a computer lab behind a hidden door on the fleshy red floor.

We apologized for being late, etc, but secretly I thought our tour was better than learning how to type in a search box.

It’s an amazing structure to look at from the outside and the inside. And its facade is just a wonderful preamble for the book collection it houses. I went there 2 days ago and managed to check out 20 pounds of books!! And that was just a start…

I will keep coming :o)

The downtown Seattle Public Library has absolutely beautiful architecture. It’s worth a visit just to see the building and the amazing inside. And it’s free!
