A Day Late

I was in Salt Lake over the weekend and was able to stop by the new public library. I’ve heard a few people comment on how impressive it is so I thought I’d take the opportunity to see for myself. It really is a well designed building, esspecially when you compare it to the old library building next door. Actually, it’s probably not fair to compare the two. Sort of like comparing a bicycle to a porshe.

In addition to the impressive architecture, I really liked the availability of study areas and the power and data ports. I’m not sure if they have WiFi. I assume they do (if not, they really should). They also had quite a few public computers scattered throughout the building (they were all being used). I decided to wait around and see how long it would take for a computer to open up. I only had to wait about 2 or 3 minutes. I was planning to post an entry but ran out of time. The computers have a 30 minute limit but it seemed most people were abusing it. I used my entire 30 minutes and noticed the people around me, all of whom were there before I logged on, were still there when I left. I’m guessing they just logged back on after their 30 minutes expired.
