I went back last week, to find out a little more about the place. The building is turning into quite a tourist attraction, you see a lot of people just wandering round, not there to borrow or return books, but to have lunch in the restaurant, or just to have a look at the building. The balcony on the seventh floor, at the café, provides one of the best views of the city that I know, and that is easily accessible.
One of the nice things about the place is that there are so many places where you can sit down and just read a book. I had some time to kill between appointments, and I found this huge blue chair waiting for me, where I could start reading the book I just borrowed. There are other corners, with different types and colours of chairs, places where you can lounge, old-fashioned writing tables, modern desks, and lots of workstations with internet access. And you get to sit amongst all those bookcases with lots of books and beautiful lights.
This is a place where you can spend a lot of time.
