Silver Lake Branch Library

Los Angeles has recently put some thought into their new library design and construction and this one shows it well. The facility is new, clean and has cool modern features like the conveyor system used for returning books. Parking is tough, the lot under the building fills quickly as does the street. The kids section is open to the main room which means we are constantly shushing our kids, but they still enjoy being here.

This is a nice, relatively new building, but the parking located underneath the building is very limited. Street parking is not really an option nearby. They have self-checkout for books, which can be more of a pain than it's actually worth, if you ask me.
