Man, They Love Their Library!


This photo was taken at the January 7 opening of the new library--yes, a library--in the Lehen neighborhood of Salzburg, Austria. The building is built in a former football (read, soccer) stadium. You can see the architects' presentation here. Click "Bilder" to see the pictures.

And that's not the half of it. Check out this video of the opening ceremony. There were ice carvers, firebreathing jugglers, a tango trio, even an aerialist.--David E
