In fact, I saw it first (during a trip there in March 2004), so when I moved to Columbia that fall, I too thought of the Seattle library when I saw the Columbia library. (Though they don't look much alike, admittedly, other than both being striking and postmodern.) Anyway, I'll have to make sure to actually go inside the library the next time I'm in Seattle.<BR/><BR/>And, yeah, Jenny, I had overlooked the public library as a place to work until now. It's a great alternative to working on campus, and they even serve coffee!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200732104876804746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847877.post-1138425015337847962006-01-27T23:10:00.000-06:002006-01-27T23:10:00.000-06:00Have you seen the public library in Seattle?

Designed by Rem Koolhaus - very postmodern, lots of bright colors and many opportunities to feel like you're floating in space, which is somewhat unnerving. Still - given the photos you've got here, seems like a place you would like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847877.post-1138392907053534402006-01-27T14:15:00.000-06:002006-01-27T14:15:00.000-06:00Whoa, very nice.

It was David Ignatow's book of poems. I loved it so much. But the guilt grew, and I eventually snuck it back to the shelves. <BR/><BR/>We have a new library here, and I keep forgetting that I can go inside just to sit and write. <BR/><BR/>-jennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
