The new Stuttgart City Library

I like libraries because I have always loved books. Years back when I was still schooling, I even volunteered myself to be a librarian so that I can be around books. It has been more than two decades since I last stepped into a library though. Nowadays, I do most of my reading online and apart from that I occasionally frequent bookstores such as MPH and Borders. I could easily spend hours in those places.
Came across these pictures while surfing the net. The new Stuttgart City Library is nothing impressive but still it seems interesting to me.
