Seattle Public Library • Seattle, WA • Awesome

Today I got to visit the Seattle Public Library located on 1000 Fourth Ave. What an amazing space! Besides the extensive book collection it holds, the building itself is an impressive and fascinating piece of architecture. It has a lot of sustainable systems in place to lessen it's energy and environmental impact. One of the neatest systems is the way they use a Tech Logic system to check-in and sort books. Click these links to read more about it and watch a video on the process. Here are a few of the photographs I took with my iPhone while I was there.
