Coolest Library Ever

Seattle’s new library: This is a site dedicated to the new Seattle public library that appears to be the most awesome structure ever. It’s like something out of Star Trek…if Guinan was in charge of design. And if she was stoned.

My dad lives in Seattle, and I have the sudden urge to go visit him.

It is definately pretty, But doesn't all the light cause damage to books over time? Might be a classic case of form over function.

Can you book a vacation just to see a library?

I'm a geek. I can do anything. I went to New York to see The Empire State Building, what's the difference?

This article -- http://weblogs.asp.net/kpleas/archive/2004/04/27/121407.aspx -- provides an alternative review of the library. Very well written critique. I'd still love to see it, though.
