The Incredible Central Library Renovation in 95 Photos

Every once in awhile an amazing transformation occurs. Our city molts and sheds its skin constantly revealing something new and utterly exciting. The recent $70M renovation of the Central Library, the crowned jewel of our amazing library system, is nothing short of stunning. This library has been etched into my urban experience. I have memories of the old library which was magnificent, if not sometimes a little drab in feel.

The renovation is an inspiration of what good design and execution can bring. The old touches have been meticulously restored. I am so happy it still feels like the old library. However, the amazing use of modern lighting and new arrangements are nothing short of perfect.
