Should look at some of the pictures of the Los Angeles Public Library.
I've been! My wife is a librarian and she used to work for the L.A. library system. Very beautiful. The main branch of the NYPL is wonderful too. As a bonus, in the children's department, they have all of Christopher Robin Milne's original childhood toys that inspired his father to write the Winnie the Pooh stories:
Is that an otter behind Kanga?
Shhhh....
I guess the otter didn't make it into the books? I don't remember that from when I was there.
