For those concerned about the amount of glass proposed for the new library you should take a look at the new library under construction at Minneapolis Community & Technical College at 16th and Hennepin. The building consists of floor to celing glass walls on two sides and is going to be stunning when opened! Activity on campus that up to now has been hidden behind solid brick walls will be "on view" to the neighborhood. I assume that the architects for this building have found a way to use glass in a way that will protect the contents of the library. A much bigger version of this style of architecture on the other end of Hennepin Avenue is one that I would look forward to. Richard Anderson Loring Park (Home to MCTC)
