Saturday Snapshot - Chicago Public Library

7/11/2015

Back in April, my husband and I took a weekend trip to Chicago. I haven't shared too many of our pictures from that trip yet, so I thought I would remedy that today. Being the bibliophile that I am, we of course had to visit the Chicago Public Library. I would love to live close to that library - so many books!

The library is the building on the left. It was built in 1991. The strange-looking green things on the corners are decorations that include owls, which symbolize knowledge.

And this is just one section of one floor. There are nine floors in this library!

I just thought this sign was kind of funny - first names will be disregarded. :)

The top story is an atrium with trees and tables and chairs.
This would be such a pleasant place to read!

I live in Milwaukee. I might need to check out the library next time I go to Chicago. :)

One of my favorite things to do when visiting a city is to check out their library. Just sometimes it makes me wish I lived close enough to use it regularly! :)

When I lived in Chicago, I loved spending time at the main downtown library. Its gorgeous and easy to spend hours wandering around.

I can see how you could wander around for hours without even realizing it! :)
