Wow!

That is a really cool looking building.  I haven't seen quite that sort of

I finished the first phase of construction on a model of the

pictures available as soon as possible the web page is very

The real thing's web page is • http://www.vpl.vancouver.bc.ca/branches/LibrarySquare/home.html

It will be displayed at GATS next weekend, if you are in the
Portland, OR area you should stop by and see PNLTC's display.
