Seattle: Central Library – The Crown Jewel of the System

Cat 30 September 2016

This eleven story library, with books and collections organized by their call number for each floor is a modern take on a library. With numerous computer terminals, desks to do research and study, and chairs to lounge, Seattle Central Library invites the local community to spend time in a public space. Each floor is accessible by luminous neon yellow escalators that travel up to each floor, while the exterior of glass and steel opens up the library to let in ample natural light. There’s even an automated book sorting system! Even if you don’t hold a local library card, this place is worth a stop on any Seattle trip.

Seattle Central Library
1000 Fourth Avenue, Seattle, Washington

Happy travels!
Cat

Hi!
I’m Catherine, but you can call me Cat!
Welcome to my blog where I write about two of my loves: travel and food. Let’s ingest all those calories and spend it all on exploration. (Now you know what Catlories means!)
Happy eating and happy travels!
Cheers,
Cat
