a cool stop
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/26/07
The architecture is beautiful (sorry, the only photo I have shows mostly me). There was at least one art gallery within the library, a huge reading room and an interesting gift shop. All of the above is of course free. The bathrooms were nice and clean, so it's worth including on a walking tour just for those.
