13. Ramsey County, Shoreview Library

This is my place of parttime employment, shortly after closing. This branch is in line for some remodeling, which it can use. There is a good collection crowding the shelves in the children's area; well, in all areas, really. Perhaps the finest feature is a "bay window" in the back for adult browsing; plenty of light there. The Friends of the Library have an honor-system bookstore here.

Unlike most libraries, many of the public computers are spread along an outside wall, rather than being grouped in a central area. This provides nice views into trees, but perhaps the remodeling will give the nice views to readers and browsers instead!

It's hard to write about the place where I work. Perhaps my co-workers will help out here.
