One of our favorite spots in the city! The library is stunning with an exciting calendar of events - everything from book signings to puppet shows to live music! We recommend getting a coffee and pastry from Provence next door and taking it to the gorgeous outdoor courtyard hidden in the center of the library on the 2nd floor. If you have kids, be sure to check out the children's area on the 2nd floor. Fantastic fun for rainy or hot days!
