We were also fortunate enough to get a tour of the library from our very own Will Hopkins. We really appreciated the time he took to tell us the history and show us around. It was fantastic!
I know what you're thinking. What's so great about a dark, cramped library? Well for one it isn't dark. Two, it isn't cramped. This place is huge! I could honestly get lost in it. It's very open and bright.

And it quite modern. I was blown away when I found out you can look up books at the special kiosks. I'm from a time when you had to search through card catalogs. I may have just dated myself there, but that's okay.
Plus it's not just books. They have computers and offer different classes. I won't tell all, you'll just have to go check it out for yourself. This place is fabulous and offers a lot!
And I absolutely love that they incorporated the old building with the new structure. There's so much beautiful architecture downtown that I was glad they blended instead of just tearing a building down.
So if you are in the downtown Norfolk Area, I highly recommend stopping by. And if you haven't already, get yourself a library card.
