New Library

I love libraries. Old ones, underfunded ones, you name it. But is nice once in a while to see a brand new, huge, well designed library.

A few weekends ago, a coworker and I drove to Roanoke's South County library branch for a mini-conference. We learned about genealogy and new apps, but it was just as much fun to walk through this beautiful library.

 It isn't exactly centrally located (yet), but we found it (eventually).

The place is just so great! There is a big door into the children's area, huge windows, multiple fireplaces, private reading areas, and a teen area. They were advertising for great community events- including a Day of the Doctor event!
