58. St. Paul, Merriam Park

Right inside the door, a table display inviting teens to join an advisory panel to "plan and play." Nice idea. Biographies are shelved together--I think patrons like that. I like the "sitting room" reading area right in the center under a domed ceiling with windows. Looks cozy, inviting. There are plenty of other tables and carrels around for those who don't like to be in the middle, or who want to use laptops.
