The new library

 


Yesterday on my day off I visited the new library in town. Ok apart from how much the whole thing cost I have to say I'm very impressed. Greymouth is an old town and as much as I like history and historical buildings, I also believe that sometimes we need modernization as well.



Up the stairs from the front entrance...

The view from one side of the building over one of the 3 main streets in town. The tall building is the local hotel.


The public computer area along with my coffee cup on the table.


The front reception area...


The cafe seating area which overlooks the other side of the river and was saturated in sunshine.









The childrens play area - quiet as children are at school during the day.

Linking up with Tuesday Treasures and Happy Tuesdays.

I also love old buildings. But every era should leave its own architectural traces. This new library seems to me a good example of that.
