A Preview of San Diego's Stunning New Central Library

Central Library: A smile-filled sneak peek. (San Diego Union-Tribune, 9/28/2013)

Excerpt:   But it was a look-only, no-netsurfing preview day, as thousands of visitors waited up to an hour in a two-block-long line for a walk through of the ground floor. The nine-story building at 330 Park Blvd. opens for business at 9:30 a.m. Monday. Library spokeswoman Marion Ross Hubbard said 5,968 people had toured the building up the 6 p.m. closing time, not counting hundreds more who wandered into the auditorium and courtyard, attended the dedication ceremony and enjoyed the two-block street fair.
