The Weird Art of the MLK Library
Of all the strange and peculiar art pieces at the library, my favorite had to be the electronic version of the Rosetta Stone on the 3rd floor. Sure, there was cooler looking art pieces like the rotating bookshelf or the redwood tree pillar, but nothing stood out to me as much as the Rosetta Stone. I don't know was on it either. There seemed to be some sort of streaming information on it that which I have no idea what it means or was. I have always seemed to enjoyed history classes and the rendition of the stone just comes at me. Without that stone, the information that we have learned from the Egyptians would be not known. Its importance to history drew me to the piece. Even though it was my favorite, I also really liked the one with the tally of all the books ever checked out in the last five years. the number was over 45 million when I saw it. that just astounds me since I never go to the library. I probable should too with some of my research projects coming up. I'll be proud to apart of the millions on that board. I mean really, millions! That is just unbelievable to me. Not a bad library all in all. I look forward to seeing more of it as I start using it.

I like that one too -- it's always in motion, always changing.
