WCSH-6, Portland.

Link to April 8 Portland Press-Herald article, "Library adds light, energy".

Excerpt:     Like a sculptor unveiling a work of art, library director Steve Podgajny pulls back a drop cloth hanging from a ceiling to reveal an enormous window overlooking Congress Street.

That’s what a $7.3 million renovation project can do for a middle-aged building that had lost its zip.
