"Interesting Building"

In a city that is used to traditional brick and mortar structures, the Public Library of Des Moines - Central Library stands apart with its copper-glass facade. Built on top of an underground car park, its triple-glazed skin creates a transparent look in the night while during the day it glimmers with a coppery shine. The layout of this bi-level library is that of an airplane. A part of the Western Gateway Park and a branch of the Public Library of Des Moines, this contemporary building with its garden roof is unique in Des Moines. From story times to reading and other events, this family-friendly library is a fabulous place to enrich your love for books.
