Stunning modern library is worth a visit just for the architecture and the views . Don't miss the top-floor reading room and outdoor terrace .

The best thing that's happened to San Diego since the craft beer movement. 3D printing lab is such an amazing public resource.

I love reading so I go to the library to check out books and CDs to copy to my iPhone. I haven't been there in a while because I have school and a lot of homework to do.

Most of the people working are actually volunteers. If you have a chance to go to the top.... go to the top!

They need some trash cans around it outside. Beautiful!

My qualm with the new library is there is only one elevator that services the parking under the building resulting in long lines just to get to your car.
