also, the library is very pretty. the atrium is the big showpiece, but i like the stacks, with their calm, easy lighting and big windows. i've been spending a lot of time in the third floor reference stacks for my classes. it's a nice place to be.
(although i hate the way the stairs are designed. function following very very far behind form.)
by the way, do you remember the film "city of angels?" the kind-of-not-really-remake of the wim wenders movie, with the goo goo dolls song that wouldn't go away? it's got a whole scene in that library!
CHECK IT OUT
(just the first 4 minutes)
though the film is using the sfpl as a stand-in for a library in los angeles, they got some details right - creepy people in trenchcoats claiming to be messengers of god? sounds like the main library alright!
