I just got back on Wednesday, December 12th from my trip to Chicago for Library Journal's Go Green Institute at the Chicago Public Library. (CPL). I am pictured with the Editor-in-Chief of Library Journal, Francine Fialkoff on the left. This full day seminar of architects, planners, and librarian shared the latest developments and options, addressed concerns about the cost of going green, and revealed cutting edge solutions now being adopted. Very lively discussions from architects and the librarians.
I learned a lot about green architecture at this workshop and plan to implement green as much as possible in the new library.
I just have to say something about the Chicago Public Library. This library takes up 1 1/2 city blocks and has 10 full floors with everything imaginable inside. The outside of the library is unique with all of its green copper gargoyles and brass doors. Very Impressive. Didn't have much time to explore, but managed a few floors. A must see if you are ever in Chicago. It is on State Street and takes up 1 /2 city blocks.
