Coolest. Library (Parking Garage). Ever.

I don't care what design proposal for our Central Library remodel gets the green light, none will be as cool as this fascade for the parking lot at a library in Kansas City.





From Mental Floss:

"Parking garages are usually eyesores, but this one’s beautiful. The garage for Kansas City’s Library is cleverly concealed behind what look like the bindings of 22 giant books. What’s really terrific is that local residents got to help pick what books would get the nod for 25-foot renderings on the side of the garage. Some of the tiles that made the cut: Catch-22, Invisible Man, The Lord of the Rings, Silent Spring, and Charlotte’s Web."
