Two of my favorite things in one place: books and green design.
Ballard Library is what libraries should be. Well designed, pleasant to be in, and a 'third place.' What I like about the upgrade is that I enjoy being in the place. I used to just put a book on hold, grab it, and run out. Now, I sit and linger with my fellow Ballardians and I don't feel so bad when I have overdue fines...cause it's worth it for a place like this.
And with the service center next door, I can feel better about contesting tickets, even if I still have to pay. :) There's even that awesome new park nearby...I never have to leave Ballard again. If only they had some townhouses nearby I could buy...
