I'm so thrilled to live in a city where the opening of a new library draws a predicted crowd of 20,000 people (and the traffic jams in the children's section, especially around the live Captain Hook, suggest to me that the number was probably pretty accurate), a huge stage with live music, food vendors and lines to check out books that seemed miles long. While the heavy marketing helped remind me why I decided not to pursue library science, as a patron I was admittedly enchanted.
