One of my hobbies is reading and I enjoyed the opportunity yesterday to view this unique facade on the library parking garage in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, USA.
"The Community Bookshelf [Central Library Parking Garage] is a striking feature of Kansas City's downtown. It runs along the south wall of the Central Library's parking garage on 10th Street between Wyandotte Street and Baltimore Avenue. The book spines, which measure approximately 25 feet by 9 feet, are made of signboard mylar. The shelf showcases 22 titles reflecting a wide variety of reading interests as suggested by Kansas City readers and then selected by The Kansas City Public Library Board of Trustees."
This structure routinely appears on the email list of UNIQUE BUILDINGS IN THE WORLD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City_Public_Library
After returning home from our outing with the grandchildren yesterday, I was thrilled to see "Nipped" on the Popular Page. Thanks so much for your encouraging support.
This is really wonderful! As a retired librarian I'm always glad to hear interesting things about libraries. With this one, I'd think that once seen, never forgotten!
see this if I'm ever in Kansas City.
