Sounds like you had a great time in Chicago. <br /><br />I wonder what the long-term costs for care and upkeep are for the robotic cranes that help the librarians at Mansueto.Philip O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137490425743576610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426419666909765942.post-73639165475003826542011-06-13T14:35:21.475-04:002011-06-13T14:35:21.475-04:00'Just visited the Mansueto Library this weeken...'Just visited the Mansueto Library this weekend. My son just graduated from the university. What a great building. 'Lots of light! and yes, a robotic arm does get the book for you ( books are stored by size, not call number). However, there were librarians at the circulation and reference desks. <br />I have a whole new outlook on architecture, as we had the pleasure of taking a historical architectural cruise down the 3 branches of the Chicago River.<br />Great reflection, Phil! And I like your book recommendation also.<br /><br />Sue CrowtherSiu'saidhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020821970062510399noreply@blogger.com
