It is not by accident that this library was named National Library of the Year 2002. It is very, very good, and I think Kalamazoo is lucky to have a resource like this downtown. One can argue that its outside facade is a bit radical, though now that the Radisson Center, slightly more than one block to the north, has remodeled its facade, the hotel makes the library look pretty conservative by comparison. The resources in the library are vast. My fave is the A/V Dept. And I will rave in particular about an employee there named Karl.
