Interesting library. I was living in SJC when they selected this design and built it. Looks nice from the outside but once you get inside you realize that it is a very small building. I mean like a shoe box. The entrace alone feels like a cave.
The entire section for adults could fit in the garage of most of the big homes in the city. And yet the children's section feels larger and very comfortable though I think the adult section is larger. Go figure.
The reason this library got built in the first place was because of who designed it. The architect was Michael Graves. I really believe they selected his design because it was a Michael Graves.
You really have to visit the library if you ever get down to south Orange County, California. In the case of this library I believe preception conquered reality.
