I have been to a few libraries in my day and I have to say I didn't think a library could be more then just a building with books. The Topeka and Shawnee County Library is just so much more. Inside the building there is an art gallery, which was actually pretty amazing, a cafe, a beautiful children's section, an extensive movie and audio book section, a large reference library,, and auditorium, and even a section upstairs for genealogy. I was very impressed by this Library and the City of Topeka and Shawnee County should be proud they have produced such a beautiful Building.
Here are a few pictures I gathered from my day at the Library:

You are absolutely right, this library is soo awesome. I went in there last weekend to study after the Washburn library closed, and I was very suprised. I'm glad you posted this.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they had so much fun stuff to do now. The children's section looks awesome! We might have to start going more often.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my absolute favorite places in Topeka.
