They tore down the old run down dump that was the neighborhood branch of our public library. The building was nothing special at all. Cramped or cozy, depending on you point of view. But the kids loved it. It was a great kid sized place, and the basement had a big rug where the kids would spread out with their books and/or have story time. We were on a first name basis with all the librarians.

The new place is a beautiful building. Huge two story rooms with picture windows floor to ceiling. Self checkout, so you never see the librarians. But it's very sterile and impersonal. Also much more crowded.
