This very unique Library was once a bank. The parking garage is designed to look like a giant shelf of books. Even the steps look like books.

It is right next to the Washington Postal Museum. Just turn a corner and cross the road. There is a long corridor, very beautiful, symmetrical beauty, very suitable for taking pictures. This is one of the transportation hubs in Washington, it is very lively, with people coming and going.
