6. That's not the library

That's the parking facility across the street from the library. But it's a picture known around the country in library circles.

Last summer I was in Orange County, CA and stopped by one of it's smaller branches to find some local information. I was told it may take awhile and the librarian asked me for some contact information. He would relay the information to me when he found it.

Since I was staying with a friend in Yorba Linda, I took out my business card (I work at KCPL) and wrote my friend's phone number on the back. The librarian looked at my card, noticed where I worked, and said, "Oh, that's the library with the big books!"

I was flabbergasted! Remember this was a small branch of a library system in Orange County, CA.

Here's the library


You can see the parking facility next to it.
