Lake City Branch - The Seattle Public Library — Attraction in Seattle

In the somber sanctum of bound thoughts and inked dreams, there exists a place both serene and cacophonous—a curious conundrum of tranquil contemplation and uproarious discourse. Behold, the Lake City Branch of the Seattle Public Library.

Yet, amidst the labyrinthine shelves and towering tomes, a mirthful pandemonium resides. Voices, once dulcet and discreet, rise and fall like symphonic crescendos, a sonorous ballet of literary debate and animated inquiry.

The people working in the library are very helpful !

Many varieties of books for you to choose from !

This is a good multifunction library which includes many bonuses. There is a small playground, study rooms/meeting rooms, a children's section with neat toys a kids books, videos and computer stations. There are several computers in the teen/adult area. Comfortable easy chairs and tables are located around the floor plan. I have checked out dvd's and cd's that are fun to watch and listen too. This is a medium size library and has had very helpful staff over the years. There is a very nice summer reading program for students which helped my daughter's become better readers and rewards them with a free book upon completion.

Stop in and try out this library it is an asset to the Lake...
