LOCATION: The City Public Library DISTRICT: Coliseum District, near the edge close to Finance Street TYPE: A grandiose building that seems both cozy and welcoming to all. NOTES: Though it's not quite as grand a landmark as the Coliseum itself, the Public Library is definitely up there. It's one of the nicer buildings in the district, made of sandstone, expansive and made up of numerous stories of available books and research space. Each level boasts high ceilings and stacks upon stacks of books, organized on high bookcases set in aisles, making it rather easy to get lost. They are relatively organized, if you know how to search through them, but curiously enough, there's nothing to be found on the City itself. Not a single word. Anything else, though? That can be found.
