This public library in Kansas City, Missouri, has one seriously cool façade! From Deputy Dog:

Local residents were asked to nominate influential books that represent kansas city, humungous versions of the winning nominations were then used as the exterior of the library car-park.

    Curious as to how LOTR represents Kansas City - maybe some of the gloomier parts of the book.

    The books don't necessarily represent Kansas City - some books are examples of books that Kansas Citians enjoyed reading.

    I have a few more views of this parking garage on my flickr account:

    Interesting... some of those have been banned. Does Kansas City like to be rebellious? :)

    This is actually the parking garage for the library. The building itself is a much more traditional old stone pile. The story about the community bookshelf is totally accurate. great library.
